[PD] Layered loops: Delays or Arrays?

[ba]

I like using delay lines because it seems like an elegant solution to the 
problem, but maybe it's just complicating things.

As for the click, you might be able to use a sample and hold object and adjust 
the way the sample is written into the delay line.  Come to think of it, maybe 
the array version would be better because you could samphold at every loop 
start.  but wouldn't it be more efficient to write the delay line correctly 
the first time?

here's something to start with.
