I've always wanted a device like this that syncs the recording length to the tempo, any chance this could be added?
Yes, that's a good idea for version 2.0!
I've added this feature, now when you choose sync with playback, you can choose how many beats you want the circular buffer/window to record. Should be available on this same link.
Fantastic! Looking forward to using this.
