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).
