Augustus Loop is an emulation of a tape-based delay effect,
with some extra features to facilitate its use as a looping device.
What's New in Augustus Loop version 2
For a complete list of changes, please refer to the version history section of the user manual.
Quality Improvements
Great attention has been paid to removing the niggling little clicks and pops that used to occur
if you used some features and were unlucky with your timing. Specifically, using the following
should now never result in an unpleasant audio artefact:
Clear Loop
Changing the Input Level (which includes using the Punch In/Out Set Input Level features)
Tap Record
Freeze Loop
While Freeze Loop is essentially the same feature as has always been found in Augustus Loop,
the new implementation in version 2 transforms this function into something altogether more
powerful. Whereas in previous versions frozen loops were prone to clicking and popping unless
the audio and plug-in settings were just right, version 2’s Freeze Loop is totally bomb proof
and will loop anything.
Sync Groups
It is now possible to synchronise multiple copies of Augustus Loop that are running within one
host application. You can therefore use Augustus Loop to build complex, multi-channel,
multi-loop systems.
Tape Sim
A new audio processing section has been added to further expand the range of sounds you can
get out of Augustus Loop, consisting of a new tape-style saturation effect and a new filter section.
Skinnable and Scriptable GUI
In version 2 it’s possible to completely replace the Augustus Loop user interface. This goes far
beyond other ‘skinning’ systems where you can only change the superficial appearance of the
interface. With Augustus Loop you can move user interface elements around, remove things you
don’t use, add new buttons to drive your own new functionality. A general purpose scripting
language lies behind all this, so your new buttons aren’t just limited to setting plug-in parameters
- you can build complex systems limited only by your imagination (and programming skill!)
OSC
Augustus Loop can now be remotely controlled via the Open Sound Control protocol.
MIDI & OSC Scripting
Augustus Loop’s response to MIDI and OSC control can now be completely redefined by scripts
written by users. This goes far beyond simply redefining which MIDI CC controls which parameter
- you can build elaborate, state-based control systems, driving many copies of Augustus Loop
from a single control source.
Waveform Display
A new element has been added to the GUI that enables you to visualize the audio that’s recorded
onto Augustus Loop’s virtual tape. Apart from looking swish, this is a useful tool that helps you
understand exactly what the plug-in is doing at any particular time, especially when some of the
more complex functions are enabled.
Record Offset
This new feature makes it easy to sync your looping to other performers, even when your
computer-based setup is introducing a lot of latency into your audio stream.
Tape Read Mode
Although Augustus Loop remains a fundamentally stereo device, the new Tape Read Mode
setting lets you simulate a mono tape echo from days of old.
