I think that this is a really good idea.  it reminds me of Ableton
clip envelopes, actually.  you can define an envelope (which is
itself just a generalization of an LFO, if you think about it) that
loops as the (audio or MIDI) clip loops.  as the envelope changes,
an offset of which section of the loop to play changes.  thus you
end up moving "hits" around.

but the idea for the MD is much better because it could be controlled
on the fly.  imagine having several machines with their LFO's set
that way and you press FUNCTION and change LFO depth - instant
chaos! :-)
