I've achieved midi looping two ways. One was to trick
MOTU Performer into looping and doing additive recording
on the same track at the same time, the primary problem
was chasing note releases on playback.  The other is to
use Opcode MAX, with which you can do just about anything
you could want (with midi), provided you have the time
to build and debug it.  It is very easy w/ Max to do
midi delay lines w/ feedback.
