Khz has a free one in its bundle. I love Grossbeat the best because how it sounds and the midi control.

A bit late to the thread, but checkout Sotto Spindown. It's a lot like the plugins mentioned but the UI is better. It's free.

i’ve never in my life wished a company would create a dark mode of a plugin more than with this one. it’s also the only plugin i regularly will try and find another way to do something if im not feeling patient at the time rather than deal with feeling like im going blind the entire time i work with it. and i am definitely not someone who complains about this sort of thing normally but its almost unusable for me because of its gui. its a shame too because other than that, its a great plugin. there’s a lot of crossover with shaperbox but it does offer some unique features that distinguish it a bitsimon.a.billington wrote: Sun Dec 31, 2023 11:19 am Arturia has their newish EFX Motions that will do a tape stop amount many other things.

I run my monitor at half brightness, or less, most days. It saves my eyes (and screen) from most things. Even this page here.yhvh wrote: Mon Nov 17, 2025 4:19 ami’ve never in my life wished a company would create a dark mode of a plugin more than with this one. it’s also the only plugin i regularly will try and find another way to do something if im not feeling patient at the time rather than deal with feeling like im going blind the entire time i work with it. and i am definitely not someone who complains about this sort of thing normally but its almost unusable for me because of its gui. its a shame too because other than that, its a great plugin. there’s a lot of crossover with shaperbox but it does offer some unique features that distinguish it a bitsimon.a.billington wrote: Sun Dec 31, 2023 11:19 am Arturia has their newish EFX Motions that will do a tape stop amount many other things.

Word is they have dark modes on the way. it's anyone's guess as to when they will land though.

I like the tape stop included in Arturia Tape Mello-Fi, which was given away for free at some point. It's also a great "lo-fi-zer" overall.

I still reach for the Kilohearts one most of the time, but yeah, the Mello-Fi is a fantastic plugin.BackInCheck wrote: Sat Nov 22, 2025 9:57 am I like the tape stop included in Arturia Tape Mello-Fi, which was given away for free at some point. It's also a great "lo-fi-zer" overall.
