Expert Sleepers Augustus Loop v1.8.0 - Manual (Page 24)

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 in the centre 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.
Punch In and Out (buttons)
These buttons allow the loop input level (the 'Input' knob) to be automatically set by the
beginning and end of recording. The input level is set to 1.0 at the start of recording if
Punch In is activated; it is set to 0.0 at the end of recording if Punch Out is activated.
Inertia
Pitch Inertia
The ‘Inertia’ knob controls how long the tape speed
takes to react to changes in pitch (including reversing
and stopping the tape). Low inertia settings cause the
pitch to change more quickly.
Delay Inertia
The 'Inertia Free' button controls how Augustus Loop behaves when a delay time is
changed. (This includes a change to the overall delay time setting, or to one or more of the
delay tap times.)
