This is a superb application !!!
I had a short sample of me moving a stone on a stonefloor, and stretched it sounded so musical. Just unbelievable!
Thank you very much for sharing this.
If yoy would port this, or let it port, to VST. I would be very interested in buying it
This is a WOW application; it makes you go WOW...
I think I'll stretch down some Bat sound, and stretch up some low rumble nature sounds, that will be so cool

MrM - it's opensource - so anyone could port it or make another FREE app out of it. the sources are on the page.

I think you are probably thinking of DSP dimension's dirac time stretch. Dirac is much more suited to time stretching within a smaller range than paulstretch. Unfortunately I can't see the commandline download on their pages any more just sourcecode examples.robenestobenz wrote:Have you released this before in any capacity? I'm sure I've got something command line based along similar lines on my home PC.
Luckily for you guys though I remembered that someone did a version with a GUI and after a little research I've found it (along with a funky little batch processor)!

Between these and Paulstretch I think you can cover most of your timestretch/pitchshifting needs! Have fun y'all!

Hi.
Thanks very much for the feedback.
I have the intention to add mp3 support next, and after this to add processing of the spectrum (first something simple like a pitch shift). .
. If you are interested, it's "paulstretch-1.000.tar.bz2" file (open with a newer archiver)

Yes. It's open source and all of you who downloaded the executable for windows already have the source code on your's hard driveswakax wrote:MrM - it's opensource - so anyone could port it or make another FREE app out of it. the sources are on the page.

managed to stretch aformentioned 1s sample to 31 years and 259 days
1e099 times the original length, apparently

Nah, it was something specifically for massive timestretches. I'll have a look (and an eager try of this) when I get home.the way wrote:I think you are probably thinking of DSP dimension's dirac time stretch. Dirac is much more suited to time stretching within a smaller range than paulstretch.
