As an example, Mobius is a software looper that emulates some but not
all of the EDP functions and is well over 100K lines of C++ and took
3 years to write and test.  And it's still not finished :-)

That's great. I'm sure you have ideas based on your experience that no
other looper has implemented.  If you build it I'm sure some people
will love it. But unless you're prepared to implement all the features
in every other looper you really can't call it the ultimate looper
because for many it won't be.  It is your choice of the words
"ultimate" and "all the features people want" that is the source of
the cynicism.

CV by the way is one of the members of the Echoplex development team.

I hope you pursue your project, new ideas are good.

Jeff
