Hi,

would just like to point out that Augustus Loop does have multiply now
(the chart says it doesn't), though, as ever, it's a non-standard
implementation of the feature.

If you turn off the 'tape inertia' feature, then you can change the
loop length to anything you like, while you're looping, with no
glitches. So you can record a phrase and later change the loop time to
e.g. four times the original length - which is effectively a multiply.

The joy of the complete flexibility this gives you is that you could
e.g. record an 8 beat phrase and then change the delay time to 11
beats. So you have fractional multiplies going on, if you so desire.

Same applies in reverse - you can change the loop time to lower than
the original time. So e.g. go from 4/4 to 3/4 seamlessly if you like.

cheers,
os.
