I got my perfect looper already, but I made it all by myself in Max/MSP.
Its even perfect according to Krispens morphing and evolving criteria
(as is his own looper...;-)

I am about to morph it now into a personal monster looper, but that's
far from perfect, because it won't be market-competitive... ;-)

Your strategy, to go to the loopers community and find out what the
potetial users need, is a good one, but I doubt you'll collect enough
knowledge to finish it in the given time as a perfect looper. I am not
into hardware loopers, but it seems the whole looperlative project is
coming closest to what you imagine already.

The most difficult part will be to create a perfect time strech quality 
wise. It seems people miss that from the now extinct Repeater...

I you plan to use one of the existing programmable DSP platforms, be 
aware that a perfect looper needs memory for several minutes of stereo 
sound material (I am quite happy with almost 10 minutes...;-)
