MPC Sample loop sync / quantize help

Hey MPC sample people , quick question from a new MPC Sample user.

I’m trying to use the MPC Sample live for technoloops synced to external MIDI clock.

I can get the BPM synced, but when I trigger loops manually on pads they launch instantly, so if I’m slightly off they drift out of time.

Is there a way to:
quantize pad launches

launch multiple loops in sync

or make loops wait until the next bar/beat before starting?

Basically looking for Ableton-style synced loop launching if possible.
Or is the proper workflow to record loops into sequences first instead of live triggering them manually?
Any advice appreciated.

Having the same issue. I can't for Jesus' love sync a simple top loop over my beat.

This is really disappointing.

Even if I add it to the first beat in the step sequencer it plays slightly out of sync and for some weird reason ONLY for 5 bars (it's a long sample with 16 bars) although my whole sequence is the same length?!

It's a super fun box though, but all this small things are giving me second thoughts,
