you can control the reading position, not just make automatic playback. Try different window sizes, with and without phase locking to see if you find something you are looking for. tHere are other phase vocoder algorithms out there, I think Alexandre porres made one for pd, maybe one of tom Erbe’s externals?

Hey, thanks for your replies.

@Jaime Oliver I've tried the phase vocoders. They works well, though the sound does become more artificial the lower the speed is, e.g. more metallic with a contrabass sound. I really need an infinite stretch though. If I go ahead and use [I07.phase.vocoder.pd], do I need to modify it so that it reverses its reading of the array once the end is reached, or so it cross-fades into a rewind, or is there a better solution?

@michaelnoble I've also tried using [soundtouch~] for time stretching as demonstrated in its help file, but slowing down the playback and transposing it up leads to a very grainy, uncharacteristic sound.

phase vocoders, try the example in the help patches.

Hi List,

As I've discussed at the PD patch repo, I'm looking for an optimal Time Stretching patch: http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/9909/time-stretching-patches-any-recommendations

From the ideas and patches proposed there (I'll refer to the post # to avoid attachments), I've found that a simple array based patch with a very short sample works well for some patches, e.g. a contrabass (cf. post 17), whereas [small_paul1] works better for something more complex, like a saxophone multiphonic (cf. post 8 and 18).

Obviously, I'd prefer a unified solution that works for a wide variety of samples. Any advice?

Best regards,
S.E.
