That is a really cool idea, i have started to use my Octatrack to do ALMOST what you are after. I can but triggs of a sample/loop on sequencer, i can even live play and record the sequence, either via midi or by using the octatrack trigg buttons in "chromatic" mode.. Each track is monophonic BUT of course i could have all eight tracks doing the "steppophonic" stuff and thereby turning a sampled tone into a chord.. three to four track would probably be enough for most applications leaving the other four tracks for other fun stuff..
Of course you prefer software.. but for us hardware guys the Octatrack might be good enough.. My latest track involves some of youre ideas.. i started out by letting one track play back a sample recorded from an other track set to "loop" style recording. On the sequencer i but triggs out to form a 12 bar blues.. so i started by plying the loop track (which also have a comb filter and a delay.. ) until i have a nice loop, then a sample that loop to the recorder of the "blues" track and i have a blues pattern.. and if I want to swap it to a new loop i can re-record whenever i feel like it.. Then i also have a track playing another live sample back as a baseline (half speed) a few minutes into the "song" i play this sample chromatically and then also record the playing so that I now have a new pattern on that track.. I use a similar technique in yet another track to do some stuttering and waterfall effects later in the "song".. Here is my blues.. : http://soundcloud.com/anders-bergdahl/friday-thirteen-blues (12 bar blues pattern from start.. base line enter around 3.40.. plying that chromatically at 6 minutes, adding anther chromatic track (sampling i real time.. to create a strange echo or arpegiator ) at 8.20 or so.. being most evident at 10.30 or so where hit the keys "live" as well.. at 12 minutes I replace all samples, eventually i mute the "blues" track.. and just go crazy(ier)..) (sorry but i REALLY like my Octatrack.. having a lot of fun :-) ..)
