Looper's Delight

The ability to have multiple (indexed) subloops as elements of the 'loop'
(loop concept used here as decoupled from a fixed-time paradigm, but used more
as a logical entity). The subloops would have an arbitrary repetition
time.
This eliminates the restriction of one repetition period per loop (as
dictated by the Repeater). Other looping devices currently may have this
differently, don't know about the EDP e.g.
Furthermore, if combined with the possibility to assign measure (bar/beat
numbering) and a beat quantize capability, this would enable the buildup,
superimposition and individual manipulation of loops that are a defined ratio of
time to one another - I.e., true polyrhythm. E.g., my first loop element is a
12/8 but my next loop element (within that loop location) is a 5/8. (BTW herein
lies also the added value over having separate loopers doing the multiple-loop
thing, other than cost).
The polyrhythm in the Repeater is a gross misnomer. It is merely the
assignability of arbitrary (odd, prime, whatever) meter to what's already in the
fixed-length loop.
I have more, equally ill-thought-out ideas... How about (MIDI) pitch shift
*during* record?
