What you are looking for is along the lines of the Out of Range Types
(ORT's) that Max has.  I agree that sort of flexibility is very
important.  Note that there are quite a few ways you might want the
cycle to be interpolated (ping-pong is just as popular as repetition).

Quite a bit if UI work and coding has to be completed to get there. 
Keep hanging in there (and feel free to give me suggestions).
