I could imagine that there is already anywhere a pd-looping-object accepting
2 arguments:

The both borders of the "endlessloop"-field in the sustain-area for example in an organpipe sample. And the "endlessloop" should end with the note-off signal from the midi-keyboard.

Does anybody knows what I mean or where I should search for something similar?

Try the attached patch I just made, it's quite simple to do.

It expects a 200ms long 44.1kHz sample, and loops from 100ms to 110ms.

And here's a sample in case you don't have one spare.

Note: no seamless looping here...

To achieve seamless looping of course a ms-time-base can't be sufficient.
But I think there are other functions in PD to use a sample-count time base for the same purpose.

I'm just beginner in electronic music, after producing only "natural music" for more then 40 years. Just several weeks ago I started reading Miller Pucketts book...

The alternative to the metro-based looper is the phasor-based. Basically:

[phasor~ (Nhz)]
|
[*~ Nsamples]
|
[tabread4~ yourarray]

I like this method because it's 'seamless' and the period (and pitch) are malleable. Also, you can 'waveshape' the initial index (the phasor~) and get some really weird rhythmic backwards/forwards/jittery stuff.

Right on nestor! Those are the kind of tricks which pd is so good at and we all love them (especially that waveshaping trick).
