Preferences

Pressing the ‘Prefs’ button brings up a dialogue where various preferences
are set. These global settings are shared by all instances of Augustus Loop,
and are not stored with presets.

The top section shows the product version.
The Windows version also shows which SSE
variant has been detected (there are opti-
mised versions of the core processing rou-
tines for systems with SSE2).

The central section will show your serial
number once you’ve bought a registration.

MIDI In

This menu controls how the plug-in responds
to incoming MIDI CC messages (see

below

).

MIDI output

This checkbox enables or disables the output
of MIDI clock messages (see

above

).

The Windows version also has a drop-down
menu for choosing which MIDI output port
to send the MIDI clock on.

Rounded tempos (for

Live)

Essentially this is a workaround for a limita-
tion in Ableton Live, in that Live reports
rounded tempo values to hosted plug-ins
when externally synced by MIDI clock. For
example, if Live receives clocks at a tempo of
114.6bpm, it will tell its hosted plug-ins that
the tempo is 115bpm. Why it does this re-
mains something of a mystery.
