Would that work? Well, when setting up the prototyp processing with Ableton MIDI clips I used a system of a two bar control loop that sends two Sus Substitute commands each round. But the clip only loops once, for the second loop round the playback moves over to a new clip that sens the Sus Subst commands at two different positions and so on. I had 16 different clips with unique positions for the Sub Sus commands; after those 16 clips every 8th note in the Mobius audio loop had received its chunk of audio from the performed music on the audio input (since I substituted into a two bar Mobius loop at "subcycles=16"). You may see the screen setup in the video; typically setting Live's Clip Launch Follow Action properties to "Next" on 2.0.0. For live looping I find it musically limiting to define live processing according to bars, as you have to with Live, so therefore I'm looking for a way to script the process in Mobius so you may play in any time measure or relation between loop length and number of bars for the music along the loop. The most important points are (1) to not duplicate any position in the audio loop until all spots (according to current subcycles setting) has been filled with a slice and (2) to make substitutions happen as much spread out through the audio loop's length; thus avoiding that melodies/patterns occur too early in the audio loop. Ideally you keep the state of sudden isolated "hits" as long as possible. But of course, at the stage where every second slot of the loop has been substituted we are forced to let the next Sus Substitute be dropped right between two inhabited slots and thus connecting it them to create a three-note pattern.
