Official effect
Currently a simple stereo repeat built from two delay taps rather than a true record-and-overdub looper.
The current `Looper` path does not record or overdub audio into a loop buffer. Instead, it adds one delay tap per channel over the dry phrase, with `motion` setting the tap lengths and `shape` raising their gain. The declared `tone` control is inactive, so the patch behaves as a simple stereo repeat rather than a true looper.
Static peaks come from the compiled FAUST preview render. The live scope is drawn from the browser playback output in real time.
How It Works

Signal Path
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with a 19-sample right-channel delay before it hits the current looper or glitch core.
An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with a 19-sample right-channel delay before it hits the current looper or glitch core.
Dry phrase plus two simple stereo delay taps with adjustable timing and tap gain.
The static waveform and the live player both reflect this compiled signal chain.
These are the currently active controls detected in the FAUST source for this effect.
The generated description is tied to the active helper blocks and routing found in the current DSP.
Controls
Scales the added delayed taps over the always-present dry phrase.
Higher settings make the delayed repeats more audible without removing the direct attack.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the actual loop, freeze, or glitch structure.
Sets the lengths of the left and right delay taps that stand in for the loop repeat.
Moves the repeated phrase from tighter slap-like timing toward a longer loop-like gap.
Raises the gain applied to the delayed taps.
Makes the repeat more prominent and louder relative to the dry phrase.
Declared in the shared control set but unused in the current preview code.
Changing it currently has no effect on the sound.
Analysis
Current implementation is a simple stereo repeat rather than a real loop recorder or overdub engine, and the declared tone control is inactive.
No current warnings are attached to this effect.
