Quick shortlist on Augustus Loop in Ableton Live

[Per Boysen <per@boysen.se>]

Hi,

Please allow me to cross post these hot tips for looping with the OS  
X plug-in Augustus Loop in Ableton Live (from the Live forum):


> Try setting up MIDI clips that send notes for sequences of pitch  
> transposition! Look into the Augustus manual for the correct note  
> numbers etc and set the MIDI track output to the audio track  
> hosting Augustus. It's difficult to find musical use for scales but  
> rhythmic juming up and down over the avaiabl three octaves is very  
> cool. Try to feed augustus with this pitch controller data while  
> you overdub audio into the loop!
>
> You may also assign a pedal to Augustus "Tap Rec" button as well as  
> the "Freeze" button. With correct setting of the "Punch In" and  
> "Punch Out" values the Input will go down to zero after punching  
> out and go back to ten when you punch in. The loop will still be in  
> "Overdub Mode" while the input is turned down, so it will get  
> mangled if you fiddle with the Transpose Pitch. To prevent that you  
> can Freeze the loop.
>
> It's also cool to have the option of changing the Beat Divisor  
> value while playing.
>
> Assign a MIDI expression pedal to Agusustus "Master Feedback".
>
> Remember to increase the Max Delay value a bit if you get bad sound  
> quality on longer loops.
>
> If you don't need the INertia noise effect, turn it off.


I hope someone may find this shortlist useful. It took some time to  
find out about it  ;-)
