You mean instead of looping the whole sample between the playback start 
and end points, have a separate definably loop start and end?

I guess it's also going to need some kind of amplitude envelope with 
release, otherwise it would be pointless having a loop end point as well 
as a playback end point.  An AR envelope is probably a good thing to 
have with a couple more CVs to control it...

Not sure how useful that would be in a CV based sampler - sounds like a 
feature that would be better with proper editing interface with waveform 
display, etc.  Also, I'm not actually sure how useful that would be in a 
'performance' situation.  And if not in a performance situation then one 
is probably not going to be using a CV based sampler.

The sampler I use (Native Instruments Kontakt 3) allows up to 8 sample 
loops.  Can't say I've ever used more than 1!
