Tim, -not sure if you were asking me, but I use an MC-505 as I've mentioned, which I also use as a very extensive midi controller for the Repeater. Most of the midi looping I do live is involved with recording notes in a pattern which then get ssent to the Repeater to pitch loops. Is your program for sale? The fractal algorithm sounds very interesting.
