Expert Sleepers Augustus Loop v2.3.0 - Manual (Page 32)

The menu below the indicator allows you to automatically clear the loop (i.e. as if you
pressed the 'Clear Loop' button) when the fade out is complete. There are two settings
(plus 'No Clear'):
• AutoClear - simply activates loop clearing after a fade out.
• AutoClr2 - activates loop clearing after a fade out, then does an instant fade-in after
the loop is clear.
Punch In/Out
These controls are used in conjunction with Tap Record, and
affect the exact time that the start and end of recording take
place. This can be useful when creating loops in sync with
other material playing in the host application.
Note that most of these features rely on the host application's
concept of tempo and meter. Some hosts may support none or only some of these features.
The indicator at the top left of the group turns red when a punch in or out is pending.
Punch In Quantize (menu)
When set to 'None', tap recording starts immediately you press the 'Tap Rec' button. Oth-
erwise, the start of recording is delayed until a time quantized by the setting of this menu.
E.g. if set to '1/4' the recording will not start until the next full beat (quarter note) arrives.
Punch Out Quantize (menus)
When set to 'None', tap recording ends immediately you press the 'Tap Rec' button. Oth-
erwise the settings have the following meaning:
• Length - recording ends automatically once the loop has reached the length it had
before you started recording.
• LengthQ - recording ends at a time quantized such that the loop has a length that is a
multiple of the value selected. E.g. if you select a quantization of '1 Bar', when you
press Tap Rec to stop recording, recording will continue until the loop length is a
whole number of bars long.
• PositionQ - similar to Punch In Quantize, in that the time of the end of recording is
quantized. Please note the difference between quantizing the time of the beginning
and end of recording and quantizing the length of the recording.
