Jesse, the groove boxes are capable of doing this. I suppose it depends on how long you'd like your looped parts to be though. I think all of the G-boxes except for the 909 have a 32 measure limit on pattern length. You can either call different loops via the keyboard pads or step through them. I know it isn't one midi file with markers, but if I'm hearing you correctly, you should be able to accomplish the same thing, or very similar. -Hope this helps...
