no - (phrase sampling is the closest thing to what i am talking about)

i say i have 4 tracks of audio and 4 of midi...

i want to be able to range-select say - bar 13 through bar 21 of two of 
the midi tracks AND two of the audio tracks...

or across ALL tracks - midi & audio...

assign this material to a midi key temporarily - and use the midi key 
"play" the selected material (tracks) into the arrangement...

i'd like to be able to grab anything from a few samples, to a 64th note 
worth, to 20 bars and more...

the uses are for many things from production effects to speedy fluid 
arrangements...

and actually it would be cool if you could control if the played in 
material is just 'ghost parts' or actual copies.

i bet it could.

i'd try Logic - but i do not feel like spending HUNDREDS of dollars 
just for an experiment.

=)  getting gipped on SX 1 was bad enough.  (they sold me a $799 beta 
version basically - SX 2 seems to be ok now though)
