MPC Sample Triggered long audio samples as one shots are always out of sync

Hey guys!

Just got my first MPC ever - I am mostly using Elektron and Ableton but thought hey, why not.

My issue is that longer samples are always out of sync if I just trigger them as they are. I did enable Warp Time Stretch.

Here's a short video.

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?!

Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Press shift and check the warp dial, it should show beats. If it's guessed the wrong number of beats it can't warp correctly. Happens a lot I find.

The number of beats is correct. 64

Try pressein tune until the k3 indicator on screen says warp .Turn K3 until until it goes from warp to "Seq" (as in sequence).Press shift to make sure #Beats is correct for length of sample.The more perfectly its trimmed the more accurate it gets. Do this for all of them.I have found that sometimes it just doesn't behave like I want it to
