Official effect
Currently a synthetic lower slow phrase over the dry source rather than a true half-speed loop playback engine.
The current `Half-Speed Looper` does not replay captured audio at half rate. Instead, it mixes in a separately synthesized lower, longer phrase over the dry demo and offsets that synthetic layer on the right side with a short delay. `shape` raises the level of the slow phrase, while both `motion` and `tone` are inactive.
Static peaks come from the compiled FAUST preview render. The live scope is drawn from the browser playback output in real time.
How It Works
The current `Half-Speed Looper` does not replay captured audio at half rate. Instead, it mixes in a separately synthesized lower, longer phrase over the dry demo and offsets that synthetic layer on the right side with a short delay. `shape` raises the level of the slow phrase, while both `motion` and `tone` are inactive.
Signal Path
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo as the dry source, and the current effect also layers a separately synthesized held or slowed phrase rather than capturing the live input into a loop buffer.

Dry phrase plus a separately synthesized lower slow phrase with a short right-side offset.
The static waveform and the live player both reflect this compiled signal chain.
These are the currently active controls detected in the FAUST source for this effect.
The generated description is tied to the active helper blocks and routing found in the current DSP.
Controls
Blends between the dry preview phrase and the synthesized lower slow phrase.
Higher settings bring the half-speed-style layer forward over the dry source.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the actual loop, freeze, or glitch structure.
Declared in the shared control set but unused in the current preview code.
Changing it currently has no effect on the sound.
Raises the gain of the synthesized half-speed phrase before it is mixed with the dry source.
Makes the slower lower layer more prominent.
Declared in the shared control set but unused in the current preview code.
Changing it currently has no effect on the sound.
Analysis
Current implementation uses a fixed synthetic lower phrase rather than replaying captured audio at half speed, and the declared motion and tone controls are inactive.
No current warnings are attached to this effect.
