that's Flip Mode in EDP=ish ;-)
...but that's a rather obscure piece of dialect...no-body used it.

...but really I think that idea first got well known with the
Lexicon Vortex, which has something very close to your
patch in one of it's presets (Deja Vu B, I think).
The Vortex also kept the loop input turned down when there
wasn't much of a signal present...so there wasn't a build
up of noise in the loop.
