In the case I described you'd need to use a MIDI control source (pitch wheel) as the source for modulation, and as such this isn't quite the same as directly affecting a specific EXS-24 parameter that would create the effect. Let's say you recorded a pass using the pitch wheel in real time and then you wanted to tweak the shape. I think you can convert that region based pitch wheel into track automation. But even if that's possible (I'm not 100% sure) it would be a redundant procedure because you could do the same data tweaking using hyperdraw on the region itself. Another option might be to use ENV1 to do the pitch bend for you - all of its parameters are automatable.

In this case, substitute ENV1 as your pitch bend source in the modulation matrix slots. Set all of the modulation amounts to be negative maximum. And add one more slot's worth of that modulation too (because if you're not going to use MIDI pitchbend you're going to lose an octave's worth of pitch drop). Then, set your Attack to something that will approximate the speed of the pitch drop, Sustain=maximum, Release = long, and Decay doesn't matter at all. Now when you play a note the pitch will start to drop immediately at the rate of the Attack value.

And now you can automate the value of attack if need be. The only problem with this is that you can't sustain the mix for any length of time before the pitch starts to drop. By using pitch wheel you can determine, both in real-time and by tweaking the pitch bend data afterwards, exactly how long the original unpitched audio plays before the pitch starts to drop. And, you can control the 'shape' of the pitch drop by using hyperdraw. Message was edited by: iSchwartz.

Suggest using EXS-24 to play back the part of the mix/sound you want to hear with the effect and using the pitch wheel to bend the pitch of the sound down. This will give you a highly realistic tape slowing/stopping effect.

Best video player app for mac. To set this up on EXS-24: After assigning your sample to a zone. Set the 'Pitch' parameter to 12. This gives you one octave's worth of bend, but that won't be enough (a tape stopping effect needs to bring the pitch of your source material down 'infinite' octaves. But we can get set up a very similar scenario). Assign four modulation matrix 'slots' as follows: DEST=Pitch SRC = Pitch Bend Amount = maximum With these four slots' worth of pitch modulation, plus the built-in pitch bend amount you've now got 5 octaves worth of pitch bend at your disposal, close enough to 'infinite'. Now it's a matter of playing that sample of your mix and performing the pitch wheel until you get the effect you want.

You could probably also try drawing in a pitch bend curve using hyperdraw if performing on a wheel proves to feel a bit fiddly. Noeq, What's 'tape'? (hee hee) I'll never forget. Many many years ago, when I was just getting started 'in the business', I noticed my neighbor was tying up bundles of old newspapers, and from a distance I couldn't figure out what he was using to tie them up with. I was curious, so I went over to him to get a better look. Sure enough, he had a reel of 2' tape which he was unceremoniously winding off the reel, stretching it to break off a piece, and wrapping each pile of papers with it.

I was absolutely aghast, cuz at the time a reel of 2' was going for about $400. I asked him where he got it. He said, 'at the junkyard, five bucks a spool'.

Important Note: You must have an eLicencer dongle to use Vengeance Sound products - you can purchase one The Tapestop effect is as old as it is famous, and Vengeance has the deluxe version of this effect for you: VPS Tapestop is your new favourite tool when it comes to all kind of pitch effects. But stop, it can do a lot more: with the build in sequencer, volume and filter envelopes or the new 'tape slip' feature you can create crazy effects, way beyond the classic Tapestop pitch-down.
