yes, it will go much further.

I would encourage you to keep trying. I find using the Record-Insert 
method 
is really handy for midi clock. You can also use Record-Multiply as a tap 
tempo, where the multiply tap comes on the downbeat where you want the 
loop 
to start. Don't play anything between tapping record and multiply, 
consider 
the multiply tap as your startpoint. This way the drum machine will start 
right with you as you begin recording the loop, in the tempo that you 
tapped. (that's the technique I was thinking about when somebody asked 
about tap tempo on the echoplex a while ago and I never got around to 
fully 
answering.)
