Of course Reaktor can do things the Echoplex cannot do,
most software loopers can.

But having spent a considerable amount of time myself building
something that behaves similar to an EDP, I feel comfortable
claiming that there is no way Reaktor can do *everything*
an Echoplex does, at least not wiring together pre-built
"modules".

Can you get half way?  Probably.  Can you do 80% of
every feature?  Possibly but I doubt it.  Can you do
everything that the majority of Echoplex owners actually
end up using?  Quite likely.  But that's not *everything*.
How about:

      SamplerStyle=Once
      Sync=OutUserStart
      MuteQuantMIDIStartSong
      Loop Windowing

And we're not even scratching the surface.  If you want to forgo
pre-built modules and write C code, then sure but you're basically
just writing a VST plugin at that point, why limit yourself to
a Reaktor host?
