bcox asked on 2026-10-06 for a ticket for each gap docs/modular-gaps.md names without one, whether or not it is ever done. Engine claims are from reading the tree at 6a3fede9 on main. Nothing here is built, measured or listened to.

Summary

#78 is sampling and #141 granulation, and neither names a plain looper: record a live input into a region block for N bars, overdub on later passes, play it back at the transport's tempo. docs/modular-gaps.md marks it as unnamed in either.

What the tree has

The storage region and the long delay's line in it; the external input on every channel; the transport's position and epochs.

The work, as a sketch

A channel-scope layer owning a region block sized to a bar count, with record, overdub and play as commands on the host lane, its length set from the tempo at record time.

Open

Whether a looper is a layer or a strip insert, and how it survives a tempo change.
