why would you necessarily want that? I would rather have multi-tracks but
also the ability to layer things on one track just as it works now. The
layering concept from delays turns out to be such a simple to use and
elegant interface for making complex loops. The "track" interface from
recording studios gives more flexibility, but at the expense of a much
more
complex user interface.
>real feedback would be obsolete and replaced by layer volume
to me, they are not the same concepts at all. How does one replace the
other? For me, the feedback+overdub combination very neatly and easily
accomplishes something that is really complicated to manage with multiple
tracks, for both the user and the system. I don't really see the point of
trying to replace one with the other.

but I do want the memory to fill with previous versions as feedback
changes
it. Then I can undo it to go backwards, which is interesting itself, but
especially interesting when combined with overdubbing. That gives a very
simple and intuitive way to evolve and unevolve a loop with just two
buttons and a knob and very little thinking required.
