----------------------------------------------------
TapeStop Manual
----------------------------------------------------

The big PLAY/STOP button: Left click to start a slowdown/speed up.

UP/DOWN buttons: Left click to to turn off/on a direction.(also indicates
current direction)

Mode: EP="normal" slowing down , TD=(TapeDeck) does a short rewind in the
end to find the "true stop point".
(Left click on EP/TD to toggle)

Button: T= Toggle , D=Direct (where Direct will make Play/Stop button act as
the left mouse button state)
Use Direct mode when using Automation parameters for the Play/Stop button.
(Left click on T/D to toggle)

SPEED BOX:
Left click and drag left/right to set DOWN speed (green)
Right click and drag left/right to set UP speed (red)
(BLUE indicates the current speed.)

-----------------------------------

SETUP: (left click to open/close setup menu) (right click and hold while
dragging up/down to scroll setup menu)

(left click on values to toggle states)

PROCESS MODE:

REALTIME = Nornal use.
OFFLINE= when processing samples in an audio editor the plug will
automaticly trigger a slowdown/speed up depending
on the PLAY/STOP button state when processing starts.
(assumed that the resume in the plug is called by the host. it will not work
in a host that got a continous running ASIO)

SPEED FADE: Fades the volume down to zero while slowing down.

FULL SPEED MUTE: mutes the audio when the plug is at "full speed" to prevent
a doubling effect when putting
the plug as a send.

UP/DOWN OFF FADE TIME: (left click and drag left/right in box to set value)
sets fade time to supress clicks and pops in off state of a direction.

RE.ENTER STREAM CROSSFADE TIME:(left click and drag left/right in box to set
value)
Sets the crossfade time of the re-entry from slowed down audio to realtime
audio stream.

REVERSED= show PLAY when stopping, STOP when playing. ("what happens when I
press" state)

(assumed that the resume in the plug is called by the host. it will not work

Sorry, I have no idea!

The developer of the plug once wrote this manual in a post on this board. I just saved it into a text file.

I use tapestop in FL Studio just fine. (not asio, though).

The catch is that as an effect, it only works on the channel it's applied to, and then only when the sequencer is running either in a single pattern or in the playlist for song mode. To trigger it, you simply push the button. To trigger it to resume, you push it again, all of which can be automated in FL if you desire, but it doesn't respond to the sequencer in that way on its own.

ALso, on one pattern that is looped in a song, the first instance of the loop will be stopped, but the others wil keep on going, so if you want to loop 8 bars , but want to tapestop for 4 of them, it's best to make one single 8 bar pattern to get the proper effect.

Does this help? It's a fun program.

[ouroboros]

I imagine, in FL Studio, what's happening is that it preloads the sounds of the pattern in it's buffer, but other patterns go on p[laying.

This may have been in the manual, but there is also a crossfade to audio stream setting under setup that lets you change the settings.

ok see my situation is as follows:

I'm writting a song
the intro and the first vere of the song are in 65 bpm
after that the chorus jumps to 85 bpm

when I return to the second verse the tempo come back to 65 bpm

but I dont wanna do a fade out cuz I just hate the way it comes out.... so what I plan to do is to "tapestop" it and then just go right ahead with my 65 bpm tempo

the thing is I wont be doing this stop on FLstudio
on FLstudio I do all my drum tracks... but as far as guitar and bass a vocals I do it live on acid pro 4 which will soon be 5 lol

so how would I use this plugin on acid

my theory is that I will have to record the entire verse up to the chorus and leave like a couple of seconds at the end of the chorus

I play this on wherever and I "tape stop" it manually
and just keep on going form there

I of course have not tried this nad have no idea if it will work. any thoughts?

thx 4 posting
