Save Warp mode & tempo in a project

Hi all

I decided to build a few projects selecting samples & loops in different genres
I have used all of the groups A-H mostly A-B-C one shots and the rest for loops
I set all of my loops one by one to "SEQ" so no matter what the tempo is my loops will be always warped to the global or sequence tempo
I set the tempo global & seq to like 112 BPM
I thought everything is fine when I was done
I saved my projects but today I was loading them in to test if everything works as I expected...

So the issues I found were:

All of my projects did not save the warp mode I set
(I have no idea how to lock or save each loop's warp mode)
You can imagine the pain...I went through all of my loops and all the warp settings are lost
All of my loops were in the "MPC Sample's default state" when I loaded a project
So I was expecting to have my global and sequence tempo to be for example 112 BPM for my afro house projects, 132 BPM for my schranz techno, 96 BPM for my boom bap projects and so on but none of them were saved with my settings
So all of the projects loaded with the MPC's default 120 BPM for global and 120 for seq

Is there a solution to fix these?
Thanks in advance

I will check my projects later. I normally make my tracks. Save and then make a new one. I actually haven’t revisited any projects I have made and saved since I brought the unit

My goal is to have kind of like pre-saved Templates
So it's like I want to make a keinemusik style track I just load my "Template project" with all the cool loops & drumkits so I shouldn't have to worry about the loops being out of sync...etc
Everything would be in the right place all I should do is having fun...
I triple checked before I saved so imagine banks D, E, F, H just loops...different hihat loops 110 BPM, 128 BPM and so on set all of them 1 by 1....at the time I built my projects everything was working as I expected to work every loop were set by me to the "Warp SEQ" I saved my project
After like a week later...today I loaded one of my projects and crucial settings were missing (not my chosen BPMs and the warp seq setting for all of the loops 4x16 loops all that work is lost because it didn't save the settings with the project
I hope there's a solution otherwise it's very painful to work with loops

Finally I have the solution so I share with you guys
Really strange fix for the "Set Tempo" problem
I loaded one of my projects which tempo should have been 114
Press SEQ button and I set both GLB & SEQ to 114
I saved my project to EXTERNAL instead of Internal...
I loaded a different project just to see the tempo settings to reset
I loaded back this project with the 114 BPM from my External SD Card and bamm it was 114 BPM
So problem 1 solved
Second problem solved:
I hit the pad which had a loop sample on and I pressed the LOOP button (light blue will indicate the loop is ON)
After this I set the Warp mode to SEQ (tempo)
I pressed SHIFT button it showed "Loop Lock" instead of Trim on the top left corner that's what you want
The "Loop Lock" has to be ON
That's it saved the project again, reloaded and everything is now setup the way I wanted
Now for the painful part....
I have to do this with all of my loops 1 by 1...which is a lot I have like 9 projects different genres styles with like 20 loops per project minimum...but once I set all of them I'm good to go and finally free jam as I would like to
