Watch Full Stop Shop In Action

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.

VU meter

Hold the Button. Hear the Floor Drop Out.

The demo runs the full plugin, every control and every preset. Hold Engage over a loop and watch the two speed meters follow the stop, then move Spread and hear it travel across the mix.

Stop and Return

Set How It Falls and How It Comes Back.

Stop Time is how long the pitch takes to fall, Return Time is how long the spin back up takes, and Curve picks the shape. Exponential is the default, it falls the way a real platter does, fast at first and trailing off, and the spin up is the matching curve. Round Trip decides whether releasing Engage spins back up or just returns, and Recover decides how the plugin gets back to live once it has spun up, Snap crossfades to live in about 30 ms, Nudge runs a touch fast until it catches up and stays in the audio.

  • Stop Time and Return Time - 50 ms to 4 s free, or 1/16 to 2 bars synced
  • Curve - Linear or Exponential
  • Round Trip - Stop Only, or Stop plus Spin Back Up
  • Recover - Snap or Nudge

Spread and Land On

Stereo Stops and Landing on the Grid.

Spread runs from minus 100 to plus 100 percent. Positive and the left channel leads, negative and the right leads, and the lagging channel starts late by Spread times half the Stop Time. Land On is for tempo work, set it to 1/4, 1/2 or 1 bar and the music comes back at full speed exactly on that grid line, using the host's own bar and time signature, so you don't have to draw the return in automation.

  • Spread - −100 to +100 percent, 0 keeps both channels together
  • Land On - Off, 1/4, 1/2 or 1 bar of the host
  • Mix and Output - Blend against dry, plus a ±12 dB trim

Watch It Work

See the Speed of Each Side.

Two LED strips show the true playback speed of the left and right channels, a full strip is normal speed, one LED stays lit for as long as anything is moving, and an empty strip means fully stopped. The stereo VU reads the output level, and the Stop Time and Return Time readouts show seconds or note values.

  • Speed meters - Left and right playback rate, live
  • Stereo VU - Output level, left and right
  • Readouts - Stop Time and Return 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.
