I am trying to record midi with 'seq'. It seems that any silence after the last midi note played (i.e. any silence before stop is sent) is cut off.

Is this by design? Can this be controlled in some way?

The fact that the silence is cut off makes it hard to record loops of specific lengths!

Follow-on question: I am trying to use 'seq' to make a midi looper. I guess somebody has made one already?! Any thoughts where I could find one?

seq does not record one byte per millisecond or something, it only records events including

delte time. so after the last note off (for example) the recording is done, no matter how long

if you need that for some reason you could help yoourself out with a special event such as

i strongly suggest to look into [detonate].

it only looks complicated - in fact it is easier to make a recording/playing tool for midi or

similar stuff with this object.

You just have to decide how long the loop should be and then trigger playback of seq (or detonate) at the corresponding time interval.
