- I don't think the capability exists to have individual tracks looping
- within themselves for user-defined intervals, e.g. you can't record
- a simple one measure drum track and just have it repeat over and over
- while the other tracks don't repeat.
-
- Yes you can say loop the whole song from measure 13 to measure 21
- over and over, but I don't think that's a very useful performance
- feature - it's strictly for recording purposes.
-
- The only reason I can think of off hand why they wouldn't provide
- the capability is that it might make it difficult to read/write MIDI
- files, or maybe it would be difficult to compute where in the pattern
- each of the tracks would be if you were to ask for measures 241 to 245
- to play, and you had 15 tracks which were just one measure patterns set
- to loop indefinitely.

- Yes the capability exists. It isn't trivial to do it though.
- But it's not that hard either.
