Ribbons Looper Speed Scale is constrained to 8ves when synced to MIDI Clock: intentional?

#1

If I supply MIDI Clock to the MIDI input on my Ribbons, the Looper is always constrained to a speed scale of 8ves (1 up, unison, or 1 down). This constraint goes away when I stop the MIDI clock.

I assume this is intentional? What’s the reasoning there?

#2

Yes, the loop length is quantized when receiving midi clock. Can only change the speed by divisors or multiples of 2

#3

Otherwise, if you switched the timing to a non multiple of the original, the loop would need to trim/add time to stay on beat.
