That's what FL is using now for timestretch.

Seriously check out the pvoc utility. Don't be scared by it being command-line only. Just read through the web page and you'll have all the instructions you'll need to do it. It is based on the standard PVOC code designed at the University of Bath, which is likely at the base of most approaches out there. I've used it on some fairly complex polyphonic material with really good results.

You have nothing to lose, it is free. Just listen to the Frank Zappa samples they have on their site.

That is way cool shamann!

Where do you find all this stuff? You seem to be a perpetual fountain of such links.

This is your best though.

pvoc thingy looks interesting, thanks for the link! What a shame it's command prompt only... I'll ttry it shortly

[;-)]

What is this "Elastique" - is this a new plugin or programme?

Licensed technology for time stretching / pitch shifting frm Zplane (do a google). There are demo programs for the end user too.

I don't get it... What do I type in command prompt to stretch it to, say, 5 or 10%? shamann?

Aw shucks, but now I'm thinking I spend too much time on the web.

For 5% longer: pvoc -N2048 -W0 -T1.05 -Y[infilename] -0[outfilename]

Try adjusting the number of bands (-N (256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192)) and the filter overlap (-W from 0 to 3) to refine your results. I've found too many bands turn drums to mush.
