Sure!  Although this list seems to be audio looping centric, I find no 
real reason why looping at a data stage would be different.  I've been 
doing a lot of live MIDI looping using an XL-7 recently and it's been 
great and fun.  It's got both step and realtime record modes and both 
work well.  I ask, why go analogue though?  I must admit that when I 
got into sequencing MIDI had already firmly taken over (1983-84) and 
although I owned a Roland Juno 106, I never had the chance to work with 
an analogue sequencer.  What were their benefits?
