i have recently been looking at the EH 2880 unit and footswitch before buying but am struggling with a few things

i will be using ableton live for the majority of my live performance, triggering samples and drum patterns, etc, and using an ableton Akai APC to trigger these patterns and loops. where the EH 2880 would come in is here; on top of the what will be going on in Ableton, i am going to need to create loops with guitar that sit on top on the albeton beats and basslines but of course, i’m going to need the loops to be totally ‘flush’ and spot on timing wise with what is going on underneath in ableton. i know the EH 2880 recieves Midi Clock, but does it do this just to receive a ‘click track’ if you will, or is the unit a little more intelligent than that, in the sense that it will start the loop from the nearest ‘BPM pulse’ and when you click out of the loop, do the same thing, so that the loop will sit flush with the midi clock and not slip out of time over a long space of time? hopefully the latter, as this is what i would be perfect for what i would need the unit for

apologies if this is worded awkwardly, i’m not really down on all the technical jargon in most manuals.

any help would be appreciated here, so thanks in advance!
