have a look at "soundfiler" (which is real pd, but maybe linux only)

i haven't tried, but i really do not think, that there is any 
looping/rescaling thing implemented.

you could do this with abstractions:
just read out a table and write in transformedly into another one

i do not think that graphic beauty is the main goal of pd-patches.
i really prefer functionality.
(btw: i love using iem-guis, but i really think they are overloaded with 
functionality. but we have discussed this already)

you can write an abstraction/subpatch, where lot's of receives are 
connected to a single send that sends to your graphical-object.
and vice-versa
