So? GRM Tools costs an arm and a leg, no way I'm spending so much on software :P

But I have built a lot of instruments like a tubulophone, waterphone, kalimbas etc, and especially with the metal ones the overtone relationship does not follow the octave... So second fundamental might be at 2.4X or whatever.

I would like to be able to move certain areas of the spectrum of the samples around before I map them onto a sampler so the sounds would behave better with western-style 2* frequency based octaves :/

Anything at all? Something I haven't thought of that could be done with some different software?

Metasynth's spectral engine is fantastic and let's you do exactly that, it does cost an arm and half a leg though...

And wasn't that for Mac only...? If I did this all the time, I might invest, but now it's only for sampling some instruments, so $300 for the spectral transform bundle is kind of steep... Especially now that I weight everything against Eurorack modules these days :D

Have you tried Melodyne in polyphonic mode? It sometimes (not always) works well for tuning harmonics/spectrals.

Have you tried SPEAR ?
You can't always get what you waaaant...

Melodyne, wasn't that like 500 euros or something? Or do they have some more commonly priced version available these days?

SPEAR, no, haven't heard, let me see... Looks very promising, thanks!!

Could try photosounder

Does anobyd have experience with both Alchemy and Photosounder? I just saw a video of Alchemy, and realized it has some kind of image import option also?

Since Photosounder is almost as expensive as Alchemy, is there really something exceptional to justify all the stuff that is missing in comparison?

Alchemy is $249 and Photosounder is $59? You have a pretty loose definition of "almost as expensive" ;).
Developer of Photosounder (a spectral editor/synth), SplineEQ and Spiral

I would technically need the commercial license, so the difference would only be around 50€... Well, been too busy with the new album, haven't had time to try either, or the new Iris for that matter, the demos are waiting... Been reading a bit about all these at work, and Photosounder looks intriguing.
