Introduction
Augustus Loop is an emulation of a tape-based delay effect, with some extra features to
facilitate its use as a looping device. (If you're unfamiliar with the concept/genre of loop-
The key features of Augustus Loop that make it more than just a big delay effect are:
•
Really long maximum delay (3600 seconds - that's one hour).
•
Tap length/tap record. You can set the loop time while recording your first phrase.
•
Virtual tape. The delay simulates an old-style tape delay, meaning you can
•
change the tape speed (i.e. pitch up and down)
•
reverse the tape direction
•
stop the tape
•
smoothly change the delay time (as if changing the head gap on a tape delay).
•
Multimode filter and saturation in the feedback loop.
•
Four feedback taps (left to left, left to right, right to left and right to right) with inde-
pendent delay time and feedback settings, for ping-pong effects, stereo delays etc.
•
Pitch and filter LFOs.
•
Loop length can be set in terms of the host's tempo setting.
•
Output of MIDI clock messages to synchronise other applications to the plug-in.
•
Automatic fades up and down to allow smooth transitions in your playing. It can
even automatically clear the loop for you once it’s faded out.
