You might also look at renoise - which is a different approach but also allows recording of clips and looping them...
In fact renoise can be used for all stages of the song creation process, although I am not sure if it supports non-quantised midi data.
The new matrix view is ideal for this kind of switching in and out different parts.
With Giada you can either load pre-made loops, or record new on the
fly. It really is a killer tool, if you don't need time stretching /
pitch shifting.
I did similar stuff with SooperLooper before I found Giada:
SooperLooper can also load pre-recorded loops and trigger them on top
of each other. Giada has a much more suitable UI/workflow IMHO.
I haven't tried Luppp, but it can also be suitable. Please share your
experiences, if you try it!
