Miller's phase vocoder patch in the help files could do this using FFT resynthesis. Also my ParticleChamber abstraction (http://macumbista.net/?page_id=514) or Frank's [syncgrain~] object would do it with granular synthesis. Each approach has it's pluses and minuses. I don't know how long the Ableton folks worked on their stretching functions, but I think a long time. And there are still 5 different ones to choose from depending on the source material, which basically correspond to different grain lengths, density and overlap.

Hi,
I am looking for an object (or patch) that can stretch samples (rate of < or > than 1), like e.g. elasticx~ for max. I'm already looking around, but thought if I ask here for sugestions, people who know more than me can give a better example. Does anyone have a good sugestion?
