Drez- don't you have your manual? You just have to choose the pad contaning the beat you want to loop, and then press the Sample Edit button. Then choose whether you want the loop to be a Drum, Trigger, or Gate type of loop. This determines whether the sample plays only for the amount of time it is pressed, plays once all the way through, or loops continuously. After this, you need to know what the bpm of your loop is for the next part. Go down the menu to the notes per measure function, and adjust it with the main dial on
the sp808. As you adjust it, watch at the top of the Sample Edit screen as the BPM changes. Adjust it so that the BPM on the display comes as close as possible to the BPM of your drumloop. Then, go up the menu to where it says End Time. Adjust this to finely tune the BPM to exactly what it should be. If you can't get it, and the values won't go any further, this means you have to adjust the ticks per measure. In this happens, go down the menu again to the little symbol that looks like a musical note. Adjust this from quarter notes to eight notes, sixteenth notes, or 32nd notes, whatever is needed to allow you to correctly adjust the End Time to get the correct BPM. After you get it right, just press the Play/Menu button under the LCD, and youre back to the main menu. Your loop should now be looping properly. I know this sounds extremely confusing, but it is so simple that when you know how to do it, it takes a matter of seconds. If you have questions about my explanation, ask. Hope this helps-
