Ohhhh, a MOTM ∗looper∗. :))
I own two Repeaters and a Lex MPX-G2 with 10 secs of delay,
but having this in MOTM format with sounds ∗very∗ nice.

For a good looper you need aprox 10 secs delay, the more
the better.
You'd need CV feedback conyrol. By reducing the feedback,
you get the chance to 'clean' the loop and make room for
new material to be fed into the loop.
A CV record/play mode switch is needed.
When switching in/out record mode, no clicks/ticks/whatever
should be produced.
No clicks/ticks must be heard when the loop 'returns' to the
start of the buffer, even when a long ambient sound is
recorded.
A lowpass filter for emulating an analog delay is needed,
with CV control. But because we all have filters around,
maybe it is possible to insert a filter into the loop
signal. That takes an DA and DA converter, so the built-in
LPF is probably a better choice.
