I think I get the eternal gearwheel groove machine part and it sounds 
groovy,
but how does it allow BPM changes?  Where does BPM come in?  Isn't the
circumference of your metaphoric eternal groove gearwheel just the 
duration of
the repeating loop?  Do you have to put in the BPM and then the number of
beats you wish to loop?

And why a gearwheel?  A gearwheel can work with other gearwheels of 
different
radii.  Are you saying that your gizmo can playback loops of different
durations?  So that with a 3 second loop and a 7 second loop, they would 
both
begin at the same time every 21 seconds?  That sounds pretty freaky deaky.

Also if you change the BPM this would alter the circumference of your
gearwheel? If, say, you add to the circumference of your gearwheel, 
increasing
the loop duration from 5 to 7 seconds, does the extra 2 seconds show up as
silence or do you time/pitch-stretch the loop to wrap around the new, 
bigger
gearwheel?  Conversely if you decrease the loop duration does that eat up 
part
of the existing loop?  Or does all the existing sound get erased and you 
start
over again?
