Hi Bill, Thanks. I am hoping to find a unit that works sort of like cubase in a hardware form: the song is completely composed and recorded with loop points positioned in parts of the song. To loop a part, i simply tell the unit to loop that part. When i tell the unit to stop looping, the song then continues - as it would in cubase or another software program. I'm very accustomed to working with a variety of software programs. Maybe the hardware world - for this type of application - hasn't really caught up, or functions very differently. A sampler may work, but some of the songs are 20 minutes long. May be a RAM issue with the sampler. I do know that Cirque du Soliel works this way, but the samples are mainly sort intros, rather than long songs.
