Such a thing would probably be useful, though a direct mapping of
Loop IV to a MIDI looping system wouldn't make as much sense as some
sort of hybrid.
There have been a number of MIDI recorder/players with loop
functions. Opcode's Sequencer (later renamed as Vision) was one of
the first, and it looping was supplemented by randomization features.
Jam Factory and M offered even more extended "looping plus"
capabilities, with some power algorithmic regenerators (M is still
availabe from Cycling '74).
Many people have taken such MIDI players into interesting realms,
using languages such as Max, Forth, HMSL, etc.
