But why stop there? One of the great things about having an app is that you can deploy multiple interfaces at the user's discretion. I understand why you'd lead with an iOS interface that mimics the Factor pedals: it's familiar to players, it puts everything up-front for easy manipulation, and it's easy to write. Take a look at the Hexe Revolver demo videos and imagine an algorithm for the H9 that could implement those controls. There are also other looping implementations that could work with the existing controls that would provide very interesting results. Implementing these features, given the H9's form factor and interface design, would probably require MIDI controls, but I think that's OK: one of the beauties of the H9 model is that players who aren't interested in the algorithm or don't have the right extra gear to use it can simply pass on buying it. A Multiply feature, so that short initial loops can be overdubbed with longer phrases.
Having said that, I think there are things that would improve it: Reverse loop. I've said it before, but it bears repeating: the TimeFactor looping algorithm is already one of the best feature sets available in a pedal looper.
