What it does
SlowMo 2 plays incoming audio back at half speed in real time, for half-time sections and slowed-down transitions.
- Three bands: low, mid and high, each with its own reverse and half-time switches, plus speed, octave and dry/wet controls.
- Timing: time divisions synced to the DAW tempo, from 1/16 to 4 bars.
- Quality and workflow: oversampling to reduce artefacts, global fade in/out, and a resizable vector interface.

When to use it
A performance effect for transitions and drops: slow only the mids, reverse the highs, keep the low end running. Its multiband split is what makes it different from tape-stop style plugins, which usually affect the whole signal at once.
- Best for: builds, breakdowns and half-time drops in electronic, trap and hip-hop.
