interesting, except that looping is inherently not a DSP algorithm. It is
nice to add the digital processing into the mix, but all the primary
looping functions are about controlling existing data, not about processing
it. You have to get that data control/loop function stuff right first.

If you look at all the major looping boxes of the past, none of them were
based on DSP.
