Sample origianl BPM and project bpm

Elektron Gear Digitakt

Hello guys,I’m new into the elektron workflow and digitakt.
I have,I suppose,a stupid question that is bothering me.

So,I just download a break sample from internet (5seconds) and then I uploaded into my digitakt using the elektron transfer application.
My currently project is setted up to 160 bpm BUT when I upload the break sample to the track 3 of the digitakt the sample doesn’t “take” the currently bpm of the project.
I mean,the project is to 160 bpm and the break is still playing to the original bpm’s that it had when I downloaded it.
How do I have to do change it?

Also,why can’t I listen the whole sample?
To listen the whole sample I have to set the sequencer to 64 bars and then set the trig length (fron the TRIG menu) to the maximum and it’s not really what I want…
I’m pretty ignorant and I don’t know how to solve this problem😅
Thanks in advance guysss

Digitakt doesn’t time stretch , so if the sample is 130 and your track is 160 you should probably stretch it in ableton .

Your sample seems very big too, if it can’t all be heard over 64 steps ,
I suggest you use small loops and not 30+ second samples.

To hear the entire sample look at either a different bpm, different tempo time signature or conditional trigs (so it only retrigs your sample 1:2 times … every 2nd time it plays )

You can set length to infinite/unlimited (I think)

Hey,thanks a lot for the quick reply!
The loop has 5 seconds,that’s why is very strange…
I didn’t know that the digitakt doesn’t has a time stracht,I’m gonna do it on ableton.
Thanks!
