Full Stop Shop

A Tape Stop That Works in Stereo.

Hold Engage and the music runs out of power.

Full Stop Shop is a tape stop and vinyl brake. Hold the big Engage button and the pitch falls to a stop like a deck losing power, let go and it spins back up. It's momentary on purpose, you play it, and Engage is an ordinary automatable parameter so you can draw it in your DAW too, no MIDI needed.

Spread is the part that makes it stereo. The left and right channels each have their own read head, and Spread decides when each one starts to stop, so the stop travels from one side of the mix to the other, left first, right first, or together at zero. Two small speed meters show the real playback rate of each channel while it happens, so you can watch the stop move across the field.

Stop Time and Return Time run from 50 ms to 4 seconds, or lock to the host tempo from a 1/16 note up to 2 bars, Curve is Linear or Exponential, and the readouts show the time in seconds or note values.

Color and Presets

Pick a Color. Start From a Preset.

The Color knob changes the whole faceplate to any hue, fluorescent green by default, and it's a preference saved on your machine, not part of a preset or a session. Power Off turns the faceplate dark and passes the audio through untouched.

Ten factory presets plus Default are starting points, Quick Stop, Long Breakdown, Slow Drift, Left Leaves First, Right Leaves First, Wide Sweep, Blended Stop, Hard Brake, Soft Landing and Grid Lock, and A/B, Save, Save As, Copy, Delete, Import and Export handle your own. The window resizes and remembers its size.
