Loop enhancement - option for user input while running

Luisi's texture generator got me thinking about intererative control structures.

I think an option to allow user input while a loop is running could be useful.

Right now the user is frozen out while a loop is running. Could a new boolean input (or a separate loop component) be added so the loop would look for user events in the event queue between each iteration?

(Very low priority - just a 'nice to have' for somewhere down the line.)

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
