This is a fantastic feature of the Live III.  I hope you enjoy this video!

Just to be clear:

Pressing RECORD and choosing sequences places them sequentially into the list of sequences that the SONG will play.  If you press the same sequence multiple times, the loop count will increase.

If you press INSERT, the sequence which is in focus is inserted directly underneath itself and everything else drops down one position.  Once inserted, you can always scroll with the Data Dial to change the sequence.
