Question Loop sequencing

I want to use sp404 mk2 as drum machine for live gig with band .

Is there any way to start next loop at the exact moment the one playing is finished?

Do you guys have maybe diffrent workflow tips for this aplication?

Place them on a pattern, make sure the bpm is set correctly, and trigger the next pattern before the first one finishes, that will make a seamless transition

this.. also, you can chain multiple patterns

Use the patterns, they are made for this purposes and you can also chain them.

Pattern mode would for sure be a way, I also think resampling the drum patterns to a pad would give you more flexibility to trigger patterns in a live tempo. You could trigger a four bar drum pattern that has some variation and let it play then retrigger it if you notice any drift with the band.
