Before I go to lots of trouble adding new functionality to the source of buffet~, can someone tell me a way to reverse a buffer in place/non real-time?

My problem: I'm making a patch that emulates all the functionality of the different loopers I use in my performance set. I've already been able to accomplish the majority of what I set out to do by using a combination of record~, groove~, buffet~, and ipoke~.

However, apparently ipoke~ isn't able to interpolate backwards in a buffer, so when writing into it from the reference position of a groove~ running backwards, it clears the entire buffer. So I'm looking for a way to quickly rewrite the buffer's contents in reverse when the groove~ changes playing direction.

reversing-a-buffer

Future reference, the buffet~ object does reverse a buffer with the retroblock command. I should really read more carefully.

...and ipoke is capable of interpolating backwards, I was just doing something else wrong in the patch.
