Expert Sleepers Augustus Loop v1.8.0 - Manual (Page 12)

Quickstart
Augustus Loop is designed to be used as an insert effect, but you can use it as a send effect
if you wish.
By default, the effect produces a straightforward one second delay, with fairly high feed-
back. Play a note through it - you should hear it echo once a second for quite some time.
The GUI consists of two sliders, a number of knobs and a smaller number of buttons.
The shorter of the two sliders
and the cluster of edit boxes
around it control the delay time.
By default the slider lets you ad-
just the delay time between zero
and ten seconds. Try dragging
the slider and see what hap-
pens.
The longer slider controls the speed of the virtual tape, or equivalently the pitch of the de-
layed material. Try playing some notes into the delay, and then adjusting the slider. You
should hear the notes you played at a higher or lower pitch.
Four of the buttons let you set up a delay time
without having to know what you want as a num-
ber of seconds. Try clicking on 'Tap Length', waiting
a moment, and then clicking on it again. The delay
time will change to the length of time between your
two clicks. If you use 'Tap Rec' (short for 'Tap Re-
cord') the delayed material will be cleared out on
the first click. This is useful when starting afresh on
a new loop.
Other than that, just have a play with the controls, and then dig into the detailed reference
section, below.
