...what I wanted for performance/installation purposes is a box with:
1. a gate to say when to start sampling
2. a memory consisting of old computer dram so it is very cheap
3. a cv input that says what part of the memory to start playing back at
4. a cv in that says what speed to start playing back at
5. a cv that says where to stop playing back
6. possibly an auto loop function, but if you have the above basics you can
do pretty much what you want..

people with modulars incorporating the old BBDs with CV playback speed control
just love them, noise and all....

I am not up to designing this myself.. but it is obviously doable..
perhaps it is even possible to hack a sound card to do part of it?
I don't know how easy it is to build stuff around a card..
