"Echoplex" plugin for MOTU system

["Ed A." <necom@necom.com>]

I am trying to get MOTU interested in creating a plugin for their MOTU
system for Digital Perform that would, in effect, be a stereo "Echoplex"
with delay times of 32 seconds or greater per channel(dependent on the
Mac's memory). I think this would be an excellent alternative to
hardware boxes like the Jamman or Echoplex. Something like this can even
be used in real-time performance on a Powerbook.
MOTU unfortunately won't let on as to their progress or future intention
for this.
Are there any programmers out there who can do this and make the plugin
available as shareware or a commercial product? MOTU has a kit for
programmers who wish to write plugins for Digital Performer.
They also have a current  audio plugin that does stereo multitap delay
of up to 1000ms. Can this be easily modified to produce a delay of
32000ms, for example?

On the hardware side, I contacted Lexicon and suggested that they create
a "Jamman II" that would be true stereo with a higher bit resolution and
sample rate at a price point of a Lexicon MPX-1. The guy who developed
the Jamman is interested,I am told, but convincing Lexicon management to
do this is another story.

If people on this mailing list or website bother MOTU and Lexicon
enough, maybe they'll release something sooner.
