I found something interesting with that technique :
Use a sample with a truncated loop, 120 steps instead of 128. Plock missing steps with steps 56-64.
You can also use several loops in the same sample :
64 steps, 16 steps, 16 steps, 16 steps, 8 steps.
No need to tune, easier plock and lfo values.
Can’t tell settings, need to check.
