e-instruments has released Slower for Kontakt Player. Here's what they say:
This project represents a deep dive into the world of analog tape, capturing the unique textures and warmth that only real tape machines can provide. With 230 presets designed from sound sources including keys, strings, rare instruments, and synths, Slower transforms familiar tones into something magical.
All recordings were made on four distinct tape machines, then slowed to half-speed, resulting in rich, low-frequency sounds all an octave lower than the original with genuine tape imperfections and warmth.
