The reason that I think it would be nice to have a Doepfer delay is laziness. Really! I am so damn lazy! Say that I want to send a sound from the Doepfer into a simple delay, then back in to the Doepfer for more processing. I don't want to have to futz with a rack delay, or perhaps plug in a Line 6 which hasn't been used for a few days, etc. I like my Time Machine because I get instant gratification. It doesn't pause my creative flow. The fallback of the Time Machine is that the longer delay "pings" are filtered so dramatically that only shorter delays sound good. Longer delays get 'muffled' quickly. If you listen to the Modcan samples, it seems that they got over that problem. I might eventually have to buy a Modcan rack. Perhaps a solution would be to hook up a normal delay to a clever patchbay, where there are 1/4 inch inputs and outputs in the back, but 1/8 inch inputs/outputs in the front. Has anyone used a setup like this? Unfortunately, if I went in this direction, I'd probably get that TC D-Two delay that was mentioned earlier. It's a little expensive for what I'd use it for ($700).
