One thing that'd he even cooler, though, is if you could somehow adjust the length of the delayed signal like with an arpegiator how you can set the timing and the note-length.
For instance, say you have the delay set to 600ms. You'd then have the option of it replaying the entire 600ms segment (like a regular delay), or you could shorten the delayed signal. So instead of it playing back the entire 600ms it'd play back something less than that and then silence until the next repeat. I imagine this working with one knob so at one end it's the full delay signal and at the other end it's blips.
the EHX SMMH is pretty close to what you're talking about with the filter knob and multi-tap mode
one thing that i feel is essential with delays is the option of having no trails when you turn it off. so many cool sounds when you can push it into self-oscillation and then just cut it off. i kind of prefer that sound to the whole multi-tap thing because you can just turn it off whenever you want it to stop and you're not limited to a certain length without having to tap in a tempo or tweak knobs all the time. Ibanez DML10 is insanely good for this.
is it possible to have...lets say you are fingerpicking, and you hit the low E really hard, and THAT note gets its "own" delay where you could control the delay/feedback/vol....while the other notes your'e playing get normal delay settings. Or you could strike a chord and it's delay is independently set, while you continue to play with normal delay underneath until you strike another hard transient. and you can set the trigger amount, like with an envelope filter.
