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-
ing, pay a visit to
).
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.
•
‘Tape Sim’ section to emulate the signal degradation of vintage tape echo machines.
•
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.
•
‘Freeze Loop’ feature lets you freeze the audio into a perfect loop, no matter what
other settings are in effect.
•
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.
