Axel's description:

The script works with four instances of Augustus Loop 2.1

Select loop number 1 by sending Midi CC12 value 1.

Send Midi NoteOn 1, record something into the first loop, send NoteOn 1 again to close the loop. You've created the master loop.

Add more layers to the loop by sending NoteOn 1 or select another plugin instance by sending Midi CC12 value 2 - 4.

Change the lengths of the selected loop with Midi NoteOn/Off 4 and 5. If there is more than one second between the NoteOn and the NoteOff the beat number doubles/halves, else one beat is added/subtracted.

Toggle the filter and freeze functions by sending Midi NoteOn/Off 2. If there is more than one second between the NoteOn and the NoteOff the filter is engaged, else the loop is frozen.

Toggle mute and reverse functions by sending Midi NoteOn/Off 3. If there is more than one second between the NoteOn and the NoteOff the loop is reversed, else its output level is set to 0.

Control the Feedback and Pitch value of the selected loop with Midi CC4 and CC6. Or control the global feedback and Volume with Midi CC13 and CC14 when all loops are selected.

Reset one or all instances by sending Midi NoteOn 1 (velocity 100) and waiting for 1.5 seconds before sending NoteOff 1 (velocity 0).

midi.lua contains comments that might also be useful.

The GUI is not needed in order for the midi.lua to work. It has a much smaller footprint though as the default GUI so it's easy to fit all four instances of the plugin on one screen. If you want to use it, copy it to Augustus Loops skin folder. The very smallish grey thingy at on left of the GUI is the preferences button.

This example shows how to maintain a simple state machine so that repeated events (here, MIDI note on messages) cause different behaviour.
First event -> tap record start
Second event -> tap record end, input level to 0.0
Third event -> Input level to 1.0 (i.e. enter overdub mode)
Fourth event -> Input level to 0.0, and next event is treated as third event, and so on

A second MIDI event is defined to reset the state, so the next event is treated as the first event.

This script is an example of how you can use the setOthersParameter() function to create a multi-plug-in looping system.
To use this as intended you will need to load four copies of Augustus Loop into your host app, and set the OSC Port on them to the values 1 to 4. Then configure your MIDI routing to send incoming MIDI to just one of the four.

An example skin is provided for use with this script - see here.

Default MIDI script

This is the script that is bundled within Augustus Loop itself to provide the base MIDI functionality as documented in the manual. It is provided for reference.
