Elastik

Elastik is a flexible studio tool for the creation of professional music productions. It powers all of Ueberschall's sample libraries.

Elastik offers a whole range of desirable features:

- The ReTune tab in the Loopeye editor gives you complete control over the scale and key of any tonal loop and can even work with polyphonic material. The ReTune algorithm, developed by zplane.development, analyzes polyphonic and monophonic sound material in realtime and transform it to the desired key and scale while retaining high audio quality.

- If you want complete control over the time and pitch stretching process, the Time tab within the Loopeye editor allows you to choose between six different algorithms, from the simple and efficient PitchSpeed to the high quality ProV3 which gives you the maximum scope for varying pitch and tempo while minimizing audio artifacts.

- Elastik includes a random sound replacement function called Inspire: one click on the Inspire button and Elastik will select an alternative loop. You can define which soundbanks will be used in the Inspire tool with the new Inspire browser. Now, with Elastik 3.1 you can also chose between Wide or Normal mode. With Wide Mode the Inspire button will select loops not only from the same instrument but from a wider instrument group, for example basses, guitars or vocals. This way, an acoustic bass may be replaced by an electric or synth bass.

- Elastik's central Loopeye forms a detailed loop-editing tool. A large number of parameters can be adjusted, including volume and pan, reverse, formant, filter and resample. Each parameter can be altered on a per-slice basis.
