Hello.
Why didn't you implement an undo function in Augustus. It's the only feature it lack. And it's somewhat a big lack I think.
Augustus is fantastic, but whithout undo it's just not perfect.
Cheers.
An undo for August!

Hi,
it just doesn't work that way - it's following the 'tape' paradigm rather than the 'EDP' paradigm. Since Augustus doesn't have controls to start and stop recording, how would it know what you meant to undo? It's just continually recording.
Though if you can suggest how I could fit an undo feature in, I'm all ears! Always glad to add new features.
cheers,
os.

Now, I understand why. Thanks Os.
I was beta testing Live and it disturbed me.
With Augustus I use your example.lua script. With the note 84, wich tap record, then set input level "on/off".
There is the difference:
In Augustus, "level off" in fact overdubs "nothing" (the zero level input) but overdubs.
In Live's Looper, when you're not overdubbing, you're... not overdubbing. You're just in listening mode. So toggling beetween those 2 modes is where the secret is.
Am I right doctor?
But why not implementing this feature in the "digital" mode?
(And sorry for my shitt english).

yup, you've got it.mulot wrote:Am I right doctor?
Even in digital mode, there's still the filter and saturation stuff in the feedback loop - so Augustus is always recording. Even when Freeze Loop is on, it's still recording the 'next' loop that you'll hear when you unfreeze.
If you really want multiple levels of loop with Augustus, just use multiple copies of the plug-in. (E.g. with the multilooper example script.) Then 'undo' is simply 'clear loop' on one plug-in, while the rest continue playing.

Yes, you're right, for the "undo">clear.If you really want multiple levels of loop with Augustus, just use multiple copies of the plug-in. (E.g. with the multilooper example script.) Then 'undo' is simply 'clear loop' on one plug-in, while the rest continue playing.
I should have mention an "undo/redo" function, actually.
But, whatever.
Thanks for your support Os.
