Slow Machine transforms beats and melodies by introducing creative time manipulation effects that add depth and originality. It enhances leads and basses, thickens percussion, and delivers dynamic tape stop effects that can be applied live or through sequenced automation. This tool offers three distinct ways to control time, allowing partial or full slowing down of audio signals to reshape your sound with precision.

The Slow Down stage provides an intuitive slowdown effect that adjusts both rhythm and pitch, enabling modulation of loop size, playback speed, quantization, and filtering across frequency bands. It also features smooth crossfading between loops, making it easy to create evolving textures and transitions. This stage is ideal for adding expressive movement and variation to any audio material.

For performance-oriented creativity, the Time Stop stage offers an instant tape stop effect with multiple modes like Step and Ramp variations, along with a Hold function for sustained control. The Speed Sequencer stage lets you program intricate speed changes with customizable step lengths, resolution, and curve modes. Additional controls over randomness and crossfade duration enhance the expressiveness of sequenced speed modulation, making Slow Machine a powerful tool for innovative sound design.
