I started doing this recently, that is, using a sequencer for looping.  
It's a good way to build up drum tracks, particularly if you're not a 
drummer.  You're limited as to the number of notes you can have present 
(well, I guess you always are), since you have to have enough voices on 
your sound module to play back all your midi loopage, so things might not 
get as dense as with a delay recording the actual audio, but the 
advantages of being to sync, edit, and store the loops definitely makes 
it worthwhile.
