Jeeesh....you're making me work now....see below. I forgot that PhDs often have their assistants that do their research for them. ;) You can get more details from the URLs.

SooperLooper - live looping sampler capable of immediate loop recording, overdubbing, multiplying, reversing and more. It allows for multiple simultaneous multi-channel loops limited only by your computer's available memory. The feature-set and operation was inspired by the impressive Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro (EDP). No VST, but supposedly in the future for XP. Supported on Linux and Mac OS X, and any other platforms that support JACK http://essej.net/sooperlooper/ 2. Mobius - a program for the real-time creation and manipulation of audio loops. It has functionality based on the venerable Echoplex Digital Pro with Loop IV software. (VST). Supported on Windows XP, 2000, and NT http://www.zonemobius.com/ 3. ELOTTRONIX XL - VST plugin which emulates the famous Robert Fripp's effect called "Frippertronics": two Revox B-77 making a continuous loop Supported on PCs (not sure about MAC) http://www.uv.es/%7Eruizcan/p_vst.htm 4. ELOTTRONIX - VST processor which emulates the famous Robert Fripp's effect called "Frippertronics": Two Revox B-77 making a continuous loop (2-8 seconds delay). Supported on PCs (not sure about MAC) http://www.uv.es/%7Eruizcan/p_vst.htm 5. Lexicon PSP 42 - high-quality digital stereo delay and phrase sampler plug-in (VST, DirectX RTAS for PC; VST and RTAS for Mac OS classic and AudioUnit, VST and RTAS for Mac OSX) based on the legendary Lexicon PCM 42 processor famous for its distinctive sound and unique concept Suppored on PC, Mac OS classic, and Mac OSX http://www.pspaudioware.com/plugins/psp42.html (I just bought this one and the PSP 84) 6. Augustus Loop - an emulation of a tape-based delay effect, with some extra features to facilitate its use as a looping device (not VST) Supported on....??? http://www.collective.co.uk/expertsleepers/augustusloop.html 7. Loopy Llama v0.802 - It's a looper... Made to emulate the Jam Man or DL-4 (VST plugin) http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/LoopyLlama/ Suported on Windows and MAC OSX http://www.rekliner.com/?PageID=14 8. Ambiloop - Windows software application that uses your sound card to create smoothly overlapping loops of sound in real-time. Ambiloop basically functions like a multi-track endless audio tape loop or digital delay box with feedback. Simply set the desired loop time for a track (or use manual mode to set loop times on-the-fly) and press the record button. Supported on Windows http://evenfall.com/ambiloop/ 9. AngstroLooper: a rediculously long delay, it partly emulates an old style tape loop system - but rather than trying to model something that it isn't, AngstroLooper is designed to be easy to use tool on a laptop while playing live (VST plugin) Suppored on Windows http://plugins.timeshard.com/angstrolooper/ 10. Musolomo - an "interactive sampler" released as an OSX AU (Windows VST supposedly forthcoming). It also has an Autoloop mode, which will allow you to record and overdub sound-on-sound much like a hardware Looper. Supported on Windows and MAC OS X http://www.plasq.com 11. Coldcutter - a VST 2.0 plugin. The Coldcutter is designed to chop a loop into a number of slices or 'cuts' and rearranges them randomly in real-time according to a number of parameters. The current version of the Coldcutter was primarily designed for use with Ableton Live 1.5 but works with Cubase. It has undergone preliminary testing on Cubase VST 5.0 R4 and Cubase SX 1.01 on Windows 2000. Any information about compatibility problems with other hosts or versions of Windows gratefully received. Supported on Windows http://www.brightonart.org/coldcutter.shtml 12. Loopitch (name subject to change: suggestions accepted) - a long-period high-feeback looping machine, akin to continuous tape loops in "the old days" or digital Jam Man or Echoplex of today. Now all the Fripp and Torn wannabes out there can have fun with a MIDI controllable looper within a sequencing host! Loopitch currently works as a DXi2 instrument under SONAR 2 (my only test platform!), and will likely play well with other DXi hosts. The VSTi version works identically via the FXpansion adapter, but is otherwise mostly untested in VST hosts. Supported on Windows http://www.tencrazy.com/gadgets/loopitch/
