Re: MIDI Looping

Not necessarily. The thing that typically comes to mind is that if three first notes match in the next bar - it is a loop. Smth like that. But you will have to define a bar anyway.

Hi Mark

Are there any MIDI loopers that recognize when you've played the same sequence of notes (modulo minor timing and velocity variations) more than once and automatically turn it into a loop?

Unfortunately: no.
I am looking for some but the only thing which works on the MIDI-level similar like a looper is Ableton Live.

Any kind of loop-autorecognition is not available. But that would be quite difficult to achieve. Example: you plan a repeating phrase of two bars, which starts with two identical notes -> The looper would think of the first two as loop. This (extreme) example can be extended to any other dimension. The result will be that you will be forced again to predefine a looplength.
