Sure, you're perfectly right about that. But I could stand waiting 7
milliseconds longer if I could bring just a laptop instead of this
monster: http://www.boysen.se/pboy_looping_rig.jpg  ;-D

Ooops.... Good point there! THAT maneuver will always be affected with
some "early delay" in software loopers. I love to do this with the EDP
and plucked string instruments!

Not necessarily. A smoothing fade during that "reverse delay" period can
be written into the software. I would have no problems with that. When
it comes to reverb it's ok with some "predelay". Apparently software
loopers will never be the same thing as hardware loopers. I guess both
will have their pros and cons.

Best wishes
