thats a nice point

Since Version 2 we had a MIDI signal going out at the start of every cycle.

To transfer, you would need one each loop. We had planned to include 
that to the upgrade for other use...

would that resolve your problem? Can your sampler understand a simple 
MIDI note beeing played each time the loop starts as start AND stop?

I also thought this note could be helpfull to trigger samples...
