[LAU] band in a box alternative

[Jeremiah Benham]

I was looking for a band in the box alternative. My idea so far is to  
use LeMMA as a front end to MMA. I am lacking a way to loop the chord  
progressions though. I think maybe a command line midi player that  
supports looping may work. I tried timidity in --loop mode but it pits  
a long pause after each loop. I also tried seq24 but I have to set up  
assign Alsa channels for each track each time. Is there a tight  
looping midi player or a band in the box alternative!
