Hello,

Strange problem with AL 2.1.0 & logic. When AL is active and I try to enter Max delay time values using the computer keyboard, Logic screen sets activate rather than a value change in AL. Its seems AL is not recognizing numeric keystrokes. This applies to all functions that are not controllable via a knob or slider within AL. Dont have this problem with other plugins. Please advise a workaround / fix, thanks

Hi,
this is a known issue. I believe I need to update Augustus's GUI code (and that of all my plug-ins, actually) to be more compatible with Logic 8. Unfortunately that's quite a lot of work.
The only workaround I'm aware of is to change the keyboard shortcuts for the screen sets to not use the number keys.
cheers,
os.

How about adding a knob or slider to change the delay time rather than numerics ? - this I would say would be the most critical bit to want change in the immediate term, if its difficult to update the GUI code.............. Screen-sets on numbers in Logic is standard convention for most Logic users.

As it happens I was thinking about this problem earlier today and came to exactly the same conclusion. I've made a skin which adds knobs for those items:

I may add those knobs into the 'standard' UI. I'd be interested in your feedback, once you've tried it out.

You probably want to hold alt+shift while adjusting the delay time knobs for finer control.

Just read the manual again for loading the skin - but no folder to put the bundle into. Where should this go ?

It's in the manual:

Library/Application Support/Expert Sleepers/Augustus Loop/Skins

Yes I did read that, but I dont have the folder. Is it ok to create it manually ?

Yes, that's the idea.

Did you unzip it? If so, I can only assume you've put it in the wrong place.
Are you on OS X 10.5? iChat screen sharing might be the quickest way to resolve this.

Yep unzipped etc etc. Its definitely in the right spot. Whats your ichat address ?

Just for the benefit of anyone else following this thread - it turned out that the issue was a typo in a folder name, so all is now working.
iChat FTW.

Yep fixed via ichat. Thanks the great support for excellent software.
