VST like Paul's Stretch

[eduardo_b]

The standalone works well, but I'd really like something similar in a VST format. Any suggestions...any coders?

I think there was a vst version of dblue's stretch (from the glitch plugin) that allowed for quite heavy stretching. Alternatively you could just use glitch itself

What'ya mean use glitch itself? I have it, but don't recall any of the effects being for stretching -- only tried it but never found any use for the plug.

So the module called "Stretcher" wasn't a dead give away?

But it won't stretch to any significant length. You'd probably want an instrument/sample player of some kind, rather than an effect. Can't think of anything ideal at the moment though.

I use Audiomulch's Bubbleblower and automation if I need that kind of timestretching in real time, but I can't think specifically of a VSTi with the same functionality.

[scoobz]

it goes up to 900% stretch (it's the one on the far right btw)

oh and shamann's probably right, you might also check out granulizers if you want a very short segment to last for three days (like paulstretch )

Took a look at the plug and realized the last module is for stretching. I don't need ideal if you mean the extreme stretching that Paul's does, but certainly at least doubling or more. I wonder if there's a technical reason why the code couldn't be used in a VST format -- really surprised no one has done something like this.

Yeah, the term grain was in my mind, but I couldn't remember why. There's a number of granualizers I think, although none comes to mind. They chain in after the audio source, such as a wav file?

You might look into TimeFreezer:

I've heard you can do a lot with it.

It's $100, though...

[scoobz]

well if you already have glitch it's worth a shot surely? Like I said it goes to 9x the length, so it's probably the easiest solution for what (it sounds like) you want.

yep.

THAT'S the one!

10 points to you!

I used to use them all the time, going to get them again now

Well, 9x seems like it should work, but the effect doesn't seem to sustain even when set to 900 percent and solo. I'll play around with it and see what I can get it to do.

LiveSlice has significant time-stretching capabilities.

I'd guess it has something to with buffer size and resource allocation. The Stretcher in Glitch works a little weird in comparison to a normal stretcher, it stretches what's in its buffer but resets its buffer frequently due to the tempo-based nature of the effect. Even dblue's separate stretcher plugin starts crashing if overused.
