Add Controller 111 MIDI Loop Start event + Loop X times

[DevanWolf]

It would be nice if we have a "Loop X times" option, even for MIDI files that have controller 111 when a song reaches to the end X times jump to that "loop start" spot instead of going back to the beginning, or MIDI files without controller 111 when a song reaches to the end loop X times to the beginning.

Example of a MIDI file with the Controller 111 loop.

You should make a post about that in the Un4seen's official forum.

I have no control in the BASS libraries, only Ian Luck does.

libADLMIDI (unlike BASS, it using emulated OPL-3 Synthesiser to play MIDI's with hardcoded banks which makes it be multiplatform and be independent. However sound is electronic-only, but it may be beutful) in my control, but by default it uses Final Fantasy VII way to loop MIDI's (via "loopStart" and "loopEnd" tags), so, I think, I'll try to add this, because I also asked by someone to add same controller support. Only one question: what to do if multiple of them? I can:

• Just ignore all next 111'th controllers if one of defined at begin
• next 111'th controller will declare loopEnd
• Ignore all next 111'th controlls with 0 value, and detect loopEnd on 111'th controller with 127 value

Of course controller 112 would be loop end.

Seems not optional since every controller can have one byte of any data (in total from 0 to 255 of unsigned data or -127 to 127 of signed). But if many MIDI-files using this controller and has any value (include 127 or 255), then right to use 112'th as loop end)
