Being able to put your thumb on a tape roller of a reel-to-reel system is an easy way to alter the recorded sound. Is there a VST that emulates this? A subtle pitch shift is not the same as a digital pitch splitter/shifter of which there are many.

Sknote's Roundtone can do this, but i don't remember the extent you can control it. It can definitely pitch shift though

Memories. But for me it was vinyl and it was to produce flange/phase.

Arturia Tape MELLO-FI can do that. It won't hold a slower speed, but you can slow the tape down then let it catch back up.
THIS MUSIC HAS BEEN MIXED TO BE PLAYED LOUD SO TURN IT UP

Right, I think that's what I want, momentary pitched down- famously done to Ian Curtis in in Joy Division back in the 1970s.

That's just a Binson Echorec emu, and Binson isn't even a tape machine.

if you click on the spinning drum you'll get the pitch shifting tapestop effect

Yeah, you can use any decent tape-delay for it - set it to fully dry and feedback to zero and then change the delay-time - increasing it will lower the pitch, decreasing it will raise it - however the effect will be just momentarily and it'll soon catch up again.
