bear in mind that live contexts might also be likely to use multi-channel  
output, so some sort of loop separation with arbitrary multiple definable  
outputs would still be valuable in that realm.

this sounds feasible, but i would like to see the ability to assign  
certain loop slots to certain outputs, so that i could control what loop  
goes to what output.
i.e., using the qwerty kbd for loop control (i usually make sound with  
wind instruments and noise-making toys, rather than piano keyboards),  
assign "QWE" to output1, "RTY" to output2, and so on.

i must also admit that i would also like to see panning. in a  
multi-channel context, we would then have to be able to designate a pair  
of outputs for each pan control as well.
