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.
