BLEASS Slow Machine is a powerful tool designed for audio manipulation technology. It gives you three creative ways to work with sound, allowing you to deepen any beat. With this app, you can completely or partially slow down the audio signal, transform melodic leads into heavy basses, and create a classic tape stop effect. You can achieve these effects either by using the intuitive X/Y Stop trigger or by dialing in precise sequence automations.

The app features three main stages: the SLOW DOWN stage, the TIME STOP stage, and the SPEED SEQUENCER stage. Each stage offers unique controls that enhance your audio projects.

In the SLOW DOWN stage, users can apply a straightforward slow down effect that modulates both rhythm and pitch. You have control over the loop size, which allows the app to reset its reading position according to how long you want the loop to be. For instance, if you set a loop size of ‘1 bar,’ the reading position will sync with the host every bar. Speed control lets you adjust how fast the loop plays, and with a speed setting of ‘½,’ the audio will be played back at half its original speed, effectively lowering the pitch by an octave. A useful quantization feature waits until the end of the current loop to make changes when it is turned on. Additionally, this stage includes a filter for frequency bands, so you can keep certain frequencies while slowing the signal. You can also manage the crossfade duration with precise crossfade duration control to ensure smooth transitions between loops. The dry/wet signal mixing option lets you blend original and processed sounds easily.

The TIME STOP stage is particularly made for performance. It gives you an intuitive and visual method to create a tape stop effect instantly. With the trigger-based performance feature, you can hit a "Stop" button that activates the time stop effect based on how you position your finger on the control. There are several time stop modes to choose from, including 'Step,' 'Ramp Up & Down,' 'Ramp Down,' and 'Ramp Up.' Each mode alters speed in different ways, allowing for creative control. You can also set a Hold feature so the trigger remains active until you switch it off. The stage also has options for precise play speed control and dry/wet mixing.

Finally, the SPEED SEQUENCER stage offers a unique method for speed variation programming in your music projects. You can set the length of your sequencer and define the resolution for each step. When the grid snap feature is active, your steps snap to the grid for precise rhythmic adjustments. Each step can have its own assigned speed and can employ various curve types like 'Step,' 'Link,' 'Ramp Up,' and 'Ramp Down.' The randomness in the sequencer allows you to introduce a degree of unpredictability, adding depth to your music. The fade control provides adjustments between each step, while also using dry/wet signal mixing to manage your effects.

BLEASS Slow Machine not only stands out as a music production plugin but also as an AUv3 audio unit effect, enhancing your creative projects across different compatible hosts like AUM, GarageBand, Cubasis, BM3, or Auria. Standalone mode is available for demonstration purposes as well.
