Hi Daniel,

how do you perform midi note looping?
Do you use Ableton?

Also I wish to contribute that some "momentum" can be created with a glitch machine like Stutter Edit which I personally love.

You can check some "beat repeating" pattern here:

I loop my drums via midi note looping, and then use velocity and complexity CC controls to govern  dynamics of the groove.
