Re: mainstage CPU,how good is it for live looping?

Good Augustus write-up, Sjaak. I would just like to add that this tape
delay simulator plugin offers two ways of rate/speed shifting; both
tonally quantized to semi tone steps and seamless like
speeding/slowing a tape or turntable playback. That is a golden
feature IMHO!
