Such a thing would probably be useful, though a direct mapping of Loop IV to a MIDI looping system wouldn't make as much sense as some sort of hybrid. There have been a number of MIDI recorder/players with loop functions. Opcode's Sequencer (later renamed as Vision) was one of the first, and it looping was supplemented by randomization features. Jam Factory and M offered even more extended "looping plus" capabilities, with some power algorithmic regenerators (M is still availabe from Cycling '74). Many people have taken such MIDI players into interesting realms, using languages such as Max, Forth, HMSL, etc. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com
