Seeking Cross Delay...



My ennui has been eleviated recently by playing with a charming delay mode 
on
my VG-8 that I have totally failed to find emulated anywhere else in my FX
arsenal---which is surprising, since most of my other gear has a delay mode
that is called something similar to what the V calls it: Cross (or Cross
Feedback) Delay. On the V, you set up a main delay and a right or left 
delay
with different times, so you get a sort of rhythm, such as 372ms and 596ms.
The cool part is that the repeats (with a high feedback) come back like 
this: 
*.............*.....*.............*.............*.....*.............*.........
....*.....*.............*.............*....*, etc. 
On every other device I have that claims to do "cross delay," the full 
pattern
is maintained only on the first go-round:
*.............*.....*.............*.....*.............*.....*.............*...
..*, etc., 
which is obviousy more boring. Does anyone know of a delay that will 
duplicate
the VG version  of Cross Delay, but with a longer max time than 1000ms?
I was certain my Korg DL8000R would do the trick, but no...
It's a delightful way to build complex rhythms quickly from very sparse
events; appreciate any clues...
