探索半速磁带的独特音质。
Slower 是一个乐器库，包含高端采样内容，录制于四台不同的磁带录音机上。录音以半速播放，所有声音的音高都会降低一个八度。熟悉的乐器变得充满魔力、温暖而真实。探索键盘、吉他、弦乐、木管乐器、铜管乐器等丰富多样的声音。
为何选择半速磁带？
半速磁带将钢琴、弦乐等熟悉的声音转化为独特而迷人的音色。通过降低模拟磁带的音高，您可以获得数字方法无法复制的深度和温暖。磁带的自然特性，例如抖动、噪音和颤动，增添了丰富而自然的层次。
这种技术可以增强原声音色，例如使管乐器更具气息感和表现力。该过程还能提升低频，创造出厚重而柔和的声音。这种独特的质感能够唤起情感，并为您的音乐增添一种神奇的怀旧气息，深刻地丰富您的音色。

Discover the unique sonic textures of half-speed tape.
Slower is an instrument library featuring high-end sample content, recorded to four distinct tape machines. The recordings are then played back at half-speed so all sounds are pitched down by one octave. Familiar instruments become magical, warm, and tangible. Explore a diverse range of sounds, including keys, guitars, strings, woodwinds, brass, and much more.
Why Half Speed Tape?
Half-speed tape transforms familiar sounds—like pianos, strings, and more—into something uniquely textured and captivating. By pitching down analog tape, you achieve a depth and warmth that digital methods can't replicate. The natural tape characteristics, such as wobble, noise, and flutter, add rich, organic layers.
This technique enhances acoustic timbres, making wind instruments, for example, breathier and more expressive. The process also brings out low-end frequencies, creating thick and mellow sounds. This distinctive texture evokes emotion and adds a magical, nostalgic quality to your music, enriching your sonic palette in profound ways.
Four Tape Machine Types
The Slower sample content is recorded onto four different kinds of tape machines for you to choose from.
- Studio: Studer A812 and Revox PR99 – large open reel to reel
- Portable: Uher 4400 Report IC and Uher 4400 Report Monitor – small reel to reel
- Cassette: Tascam Portastudio 424mkiii – standard cassette
- Dictaphone: Sony M650v dictaphone – micro cassette
Each offers unique audio qualities and characteristics, particularly at half speed. From the subtle warmth and fidelity of the Studer A812 High-End open reel to reel recorder to the lo-fi crunch of the Sony M650v Dictaphone, these machines provide a range of vibes and moods.
Diverse Instruments
With 65 different sound sources, each recorded on four distinct tape machines, and a wealth of synthesized sounds, Slower offers a deep collection of unique tones. The extensive variety includes categories such as keys, guitars, strings, woodwinds, brass, and rarities like dulcimer, glockenspiel, and harmonium.
The tape recording process transforms classic instruments such as grand and upright pianos, electric and acoustic guitars, and orchestral strings, offering a broad spectrum of textures. Additionally, synthesizer recordings from renowned models add rich, evolving pads and intricate textures to your palette. This comprehensive sound library ensures endless inspiration and possibilities, allowing you to find the perfect sound for any musical context and genre, from Hip-Hop to Ambient and Electronica.
Powerful Sound Design Engine
Slower features a powerful effects section with 27 built-in effects and comprehensive sound design capabilities, including an amp envelope, LFOs, modulation envelope, step modulator, aftertouch, and more. A customizable five-slot FX chain allows you to get creative with delay, distortion, reverb, filters and more, all curated by sound designers to complement the sound content in the Slower library. The reverse samples enable the creation of ethereal sounds with slow attack, adding a unique dimension to your music. Separate noise and wobble controls further enhance tape characteristics, allowing you to dial in the perfect amount of analog imperfections. Most parameters can be modulated, enabling extensive sound processing possibilities. Whether through subtle enhancements or dramatic alterations, the Slower sound design engine ensures a truly unique and engaging music production experience.
