kHs Tape Stop

At about the same time as dinosaurs roamed the earth, magnetic tape was the hottest way to store recorded audio. Naturally, cave men discovered that starting and stopping the tape while playing back would lead to interesting effects.

kHs Tape Stop simulates this arcane technology in a simple way, allowing you to get great spindown/speedup sounds quickly with the push of a button. What’s next? Harnessing the power of fire?

Tape Stop is one of the devices in the Kilohearts Toolbox bundle.

Tape Stop simulates the sound of slowly stopping and starting a playing tape.

• Stop Time - Time until the tape motor reaches full stop when stopping.
• Start Time - Time until the tape motor reaches full speed when starting.
• Curve - The speed curve of the tape motor starting/stopping.
• Play - The current state of the tape motor.
