About

The FL-only secret weapon of trap and drill. Time and volume manipulation with mapped presets, documented in MKthePlug's DJ Mag How I Made session, where he uses it to totally transform a sample. It has no exact cross-DAW equivalent, which is one of the reasons producers stay in FL.

Signature Sound
Half-speed drops, tape stops, stutters and rhythmic gating applied to audio already playing. Reached for the transition and the last bar before a switch-up.
