You could always use the replace function on your EDP to replace the defining tones (single tone or otherwise), if say, you were playing a broken chord or some other voicing/arpeggiation. It's always the fun part of looping for me. Keeping it tonally interesting.. Merry Christmas, Happy holidays etc..
