Well, this is working, but frankly with this kind of musical structure, to my ears having the seven different voices at different verb mixes isn't all that audible/effective, I think mostly because of the soft attacks/decays. It's more audible with more percussive sounds, but the concept doesn't work musically as well for me with that type of sound.
Frippering this isn't all that effective either; with this kind of simple, mostly spaced out note patterns, Friipper is just too repetitive. Save the Fripp for the 'Discreet Music' generator! Actually, I found that short delay with only moderate feedback is almost as effective as reverb with the 2/1 structure. In listening closely to the track done with the ARP 2600 on Music for Airports, 2/2 - it sounds more like a bit of this kind of delay (probably his Echoplex tape delay) than it does reverb; maybe a little of both.
