Hello,

I would like to activate Beat Repeat (repeating, say, 1/8 notes) any time that a bar is playing such that the last 1/8 note in the bar is repeated once the bar has finished playing. In other words, I don't want the looping to start until the end the of the bar, regardless of when I activate the repeat button.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Set Interval to 1 bar, Offset to 14/16 and Chance to 100%.

You can't really set it to play the repeated sound at a specific point, ie. if you activate it on 1.3, the repeating will always start at 1.3+"Grid Value". edit: actually not sure if that's how it works after some experimentation, I'll do some proper experiements at some point to figure out exactly what is repeated when you push button.

Automating/"Clip modulating" the volume knob on Beat Repeat might get pretty close to what you want actually.
