It sure does Kim, it sure does.  The only reason I've asked 9 times (my 
how time
flies!) is because people keep coming forward and saying, "sure it does 
it, it's
easy."  Well, it doesn't and currently Electix has made no mention if it 
will
ever be a feature.  It doesn't seem like a big deal, but I really have no 
idea
what it takes.  My programming skills end with a little Java Script and 
Lingo.
My C++ skills started going downhill after "print "Hello World""  If you 
need
animation in AfterEffects or Flash, I'm your man, but don't ask for much
programming.  I sure do like the fact that guys like Kim and Matthias 
exist.  I
sure am.

I've also discovered that my workaround goes out the window when you switch
between loops while in MIDI synch mode.  If you're going to cue up an old 
loop to
play, you had better make sure you're in "user" synch mode.  One positive 
thing
is that with all the extra steps that need to happen to make it function 
like I
want it to, I'm in no danger of over playing as I often seem to.  Keeps it 
nice
and minimal.
