Expert Sleepers Augustus Loop v2.4.1 - Manual (Page 29)

• Tempo - the plug-in takes its tempo information from the group master, instead of
from the host application. If you enable ‘Host Tempo’ as above, the loop length will
be based on the master’s tempo, not the host tempo.
This is typically useful if you want the loop times of two Augustus Loops to be
rhythmically connected, but not actually the same.
• Time - the plug-in takes its delay time directly from the delay time of the group mas-
ter.
Clock Out
These controls set how the plug-in generates MIDI
clock out. NB these controls have no effect if the
MIDI output has been disabled in the 'Prefs' dia-
logue.
The tempo of the clock signal produced is set by the
loop length and the beats settings in the host tempo section. The tempo is displayed in the
top left corner of this control group.
In this version of the plug-in this functionality is tied to the 'Tap Record' feature. Essen-
tially the clock is started and stopped by the end and beginning respectively of the record-
ing. However using the three drop-down menus you can control exactly what MIDI mes-
sages are sent.
The 'Pause Clock' button lets you manually stop and resume the MIDI clock once it's run-
ning.
Ping-Pong/Read Mode
Mono-ize & Init Pan
These controls let you convert a stereo input signal
into a mono one, which is useful when you have the
delay taps configured as a ping-pong effect. 'Mono-
ize' controls the degree to which the signal is con-
verted to mono (from 0.0 meaning no conversion to
1.0 meaning fully mono). 'Init Pan' controls the posi-
tion in the stereo field of the mono signal.
Tape Read Mode
Usually the signal from the four tape read heads forms a stereo signal, allowing you to ei-
ther loop a stereo input or to create ping-pong type effects. Changing the ‘Tape Read
Mode’ to Mono converts the signal from the tape heads to mono - effectively turning
Augustus Loop into a classic old-style mono tape delay, with four delay ‘taps’.
