P0-35 How to loop 8 sec sample?

Pocket Operators
#1

I’ve recorded an 8 sec sample in the PO-35 Speak and simply would like to be able to loop it. How do I do that? I thought I might be able to put it on step 1 in the step sequencer but the sequence ends after a couple of seconds. Is there a way to loop the whole sample?

I may be very very wrong here. But could it be a tempo issue? Where your tempo doesn’t allow the sample to run its 8 seconds fully, thus looping too early?
