Maybe even easier than that.  Since each loop can contain 4 tracks, sample 
single notes into each track to make a single 4-note chord voicing.  Then 
mute/unmute each track to revoice the chord.  For more complex chords, 
sample a couple or three notes into each track.

For instance, track 1 could contain a major triad, track 2 the tonic 
transposed two octaves down, track 3 a major 7th note, and track 4 the 
minor7th.  Now multiply that by 999 possible combinations.  And perhaps 
add 
some tonal movement to each track rather than just static notes.  Oh, and 
let's not forget the pitch transposition function on top of all that.

And... agh!  You mean I gotta wait another three weeks before getting this 
thing out of layaway???  This sucks!!!  ;)
