Instant creative tape‑stops.
Stops, drops and fills – fast, visual and in time.

The new way to stop time.
TimeStop is the fastest, most intuitive way to get tape‑stops that always fit your track.
Forget dated "click the button" workflows and timing mismatches – TimeStop is the first tape-stop plugin where you draw your slowdowns as DAW automation.
And with 3 timing modes, get classic lazy spindowns, modern time-locked drops and complex fills – all from one quick, easy effect.
Draw your tape‑stops.
Drop it on anything
TimeStop works on any sound – vocals, drums, synths, even your master bus.
Draw the shape you need
The big Pitch knob is fully automatable in your DAW. Draw exactly the curve you need. Any length, any shape. No fiddly timing sliders.
Pick your mode
Classic, Modern or Loop – choose the flavour that fits the moment. Each is a different spin on the tape-stop.
Make any drop unique with 3 timing modes.
Classic
That famous woozy tape drag. Pitch and time drop as one, like vinyl slowing to a standstill.
Modern
A first for tape-stop plugins: drop pitch without slowing the beat. Keep lyrics and drums tight.
Loop
Tape-stop meets stutter. Get DJ-style fills and transitions that would take ages to do by hand.
