DownShift Press Kit | Wrecks Audio

The Short Version

DownShift is a plugin by Wrecks Audio. Beat-locked tape stop that lands back on the grid. It sells for $19.99.

Set in beats, not milliseconds, so it follows your tempo.
Runs from a straight-line turntable brake to a long tape coast.
Brakes to a full stop, or down to a crawl and holds there.
Decides what happens to the time a stop swallowed: cut it, catch up, or keep it.
Trigger and release quantize separately, from 1/16 to two bars.
Fires a pattern you click onto the bar strip. Every-N-bars interval and a chance control.
Hold, One-Shot and Latch. Playable from a MIDI note.
Wow, Dull and Drive bring in tape character as the motor slows.
Reads Screw Engine's timeline so stops land on the same grid as your chops.
Works on its own, with no Screw Engine in the chain.

Right-click and save. Free to use in coverage of DownShift.
