    Thanks for the quick reply. To be taken with a grain of salt of course, because I can’t say I know what goes on behind the scenes of a firmware update, but one potential solution could be to allow the user to set the tempo of a loop slot on the 1440 using the existing controls, and simply stop the loop manager from overwriting it back to 120 when uploading audio.

    Hello, glad to see this thread is still alive. Been massively appreciating the firmware update for the improved midi sync and ability to control via midi. It works beautifully with a custom midi controller I’ve programmed. However, I find myself frustrated with a specific use-case: if I prepare a piece of audio to export to the 1440 via the loop manager software, it automatically sets the loop tempo to the default 120 and there’s no way to change this. This makes it impossible to take advantage of midi sync with loops that have been uploaded via USB, as the 1440 will always assume the original tempo of the loop is 120bpm, and will pitch it up or down to match the midi clock tempo. For example, I load a 98bpm loop into the 1440, and run my midi master clock at 98bpm to sync up everything on my pedal board. Now the 1440, thinking the loop’s tempo is 120, pitches my loop way down to “match” the 98bpm coming in from the midi clock.

    Obviously one “solution” might be to disable the external midi sync. But not all clock sources are built equal. If my DAW and midi clock source don’t measure 98bpm PRECICESLY the same, the loop will fall out of sync with the midi clock.

    Is there any chance of an update that allows us to set the tempos of loops while exporting from the loop manager?
