Looper's Delight

Hi there: I've been thinking about an idea I had, which would be useful if I were ever designing a looper (hardware or software). Imagine the following scenario: I have a short loop set up, filled with suitable sounds. It would be great if it were possible to multiply the loop in real-time, without glitching of any sort. So, if the original loop was 4 seconds, hitting the "double" footswitch would immediately, seamlessly, duplicate the loop, to 8 seconds. The effect would initially be inaudible, since I'd simply have the original loop playing twice, but I could then add more sounds, and duplicate again if necessary. It might even be possible to "triplicate", "octoclate" (?), etc. by sending different controller messages. An alternative version might involve duplicating the audio, but within the _same_ time, but offset by 50%. So, a note that sounded at 1 second into a 4 second loop, would be duplicated at the 3 second point. Comments, anyone? Or have I just restated the obvious?
