 This control only has an effect if Quantization is turned ON.  It merely causes the loop start point to be grabbed immediately upon hitting loop.  It will still quantize the end to the current quant amount, so everything should stay perfectly in sync.

 MaxLooper is a plugin created to deal with inadequacies in Live's own Looper plugin, and integrate the parts of two other plugins that I've used on a regular basis for several years ([http://www.essej.net/sooperlooper/ SooperLooper] and [http://expert-sleepers.co.uk/augustusloop.html AugustusLoop]).  Its intention is to provide a wider range of feedback than Ableton's looper is capable of, and to make a looper that is capable of Tape-based Looper style looping in a software looper.

 If you're trying out the Looper, chances are you've noticed that it's not terribly intuitive.  Granted.  I've been using it for months though, and it works great.  You can look forward to a new version of it soon, since I've figured out how to redesign it and make it do what I planned on it doing in the first place.

 So the cat's out of the bag.   The new revision uses a fairly different synchronization scheme to keep everything in the right place.  So I guess its time to start talking about how the plugin works.

 First of all, the intention of MaxLooper is not as a standalone device, although it may be used as such (presumably....I've quite honestly never tried it except for during the writing stages).  Its designed to be in a rack with 4 instances and controlled by the LoopMaster Mod.  This gives the capability of using a footpedal for controlling all of the Loopers at once, as well as control via the grid for changing state, timing, retriggering, etc.  This is how it should look:

 Currently the LoopMaster Mod will only see the MaxLoopers if they are grouped like this.  This will change in a future version, but since this is how I use it, that's how you get to use it.
