[PD] Layered loops: Delays or Arrays?

[Ian Smith-Heisters]

Thanks for the links. I'm trying to avoid using any non-standard 
libraries (like Thomas') so that it's as portable as possible. Also, I 
tend to build stuff from scratch so that I can understand them.

Loopit.org says you're performing in Southampton. Southampton MA? That 
Jamma patch is a hell of a nice piece of work.

Cheers,
Ian
