I'm not convinced that a DSP is the best way to implement this. I
would think you would want a continuously variable clock rather than
quantized. You would also need to get the clock rate quite high if
you were to have a large clock speed ratio and keep the minimum
clock rate above 44.1 kHz. It would be cool if the clock would be
capable of a 1v/Octave response. Then again if you wanted multiple
taps and reverb algorithms in addition to a delay, DSP might be the
only choice. I would think you would want to vary the clock speed
rather than the tap points in response to a control signal to
eliminate zipper noise. Maybe you'd want a send and return for the
feedback signal so you could mangle it as well. I would think you'd
want a huge range of delay times. I would think possibly 100 uSec
to 10 sec. Thats a 100,000 to 1 range. Obviously you're not going
to run your clock at 4 Ghz so I guess you'd have to vary the tap
placement.

Excuse the thinking outloud. I think a module along these lines has
great potential. I've just had a lot of bad experience with noisy
delays including some ProTools software delays which sound terrible
when changing parameters in real-time.
