only the EDP supports changing the loopstart point,
should be ok for generated clocks.

Here's the howto for LP1 (I hope).
Anyway, it *has* to be a matter of recording a new loop,
then stopping the old.

not sure if putting 2 syncrecords together will do the rounding.

Don't have rig set up now.
(thanks to an egomaniac canned looper kid and his dad as it happens).
