I'm trying to use it for feedback based looping, as opposed to recording
something and then having go on, endlessly, which is kind of pointless, if
you are trying to make music with loops. Though it's all I had tried to 
this
point.

I just recovered a message from Kim that explained the lack of synch
completely, a long time ago. It didn't register, because I'm a stupid git.

It has a whole load of jaw-dropping, amazing features that are completely
useless, since you can't use them for any kind of performance that will
synchronize to anything else. It's a noodling tool.
