Polar is very nice indeed, but it loops audio and not MIDI.  It is a
looping function geared towards recording rather than performing (as is the
meager MIDI memory point looping function as well).  In fact, "Performer"
is a misnomer for this software, IMHO.  It's more of a "Recorder."

It's in the Windows menu.  If you have the tutorials (which are on the CD)
there's a quicktime movie of some MOTU guy showing you how to use it.
