Nice to see Iceni already created this feature request as I was ready to add it on the forum.
This is precisely the feature I was talking about elsewhere (as comments both on the ’ Part 3: Level, Pitch, Envelope & Loop/Slice official user manual video’ and on the Facebook status of this video on our Facebook group). SO useful, and not only in a live situation as Iceni explained it…
“Hi Isla & Alex, thanks for these user manual videos. I just have a question: can the S2400 loop a precise number of bars based on the BPM of the machine? I mean you choose the length of the loop (ie 0,5 bar, 1 bar, 2 bars, 3, 4, 8 and so on), the start point of the loop manually and… that’s it! The loop being synchronized on the BPM / on the grid it would be just perfect in a live situation, only moving the starting point of the loop on a long sample. On the video we see we have to adjust the end point of the loop very carefully to match a precise BPM (not 119,84 but 120 for example) so it may not be always very practical, especially when the 2400 is playing as a part of a setup because 119,84 BPM instead of 120 (for example) means the sample will not play in sync and the time needed to adjust the loop length to 120 BPM will increase the issue in a live situation. Thanks in advance for the feedback and if it’s not possible yet I hope you can add it later as it would be a massive feature for my usage and for other people for sure.”
