Expert Sleepers has updated Augustus Loop Audio Units to version 1.5. This release is a major update which adds a simple but very important feature - the ability to change the delay time without 'tape delay' inertia effects. This gives you loop multiply/divide capabilities, lets you tap the loop tempo without clearing it first, makes the 'Fix Delay' feature useful (in which the delay time stays constant as the pitch is varied) etc.
Augustus Loop is an emulation of a tape-based delay effect, with some extra features to facilitate its use as a looping device
