It's a timestretch effect (you can increase the duration of a sound without changing the pitch). This is kind of a difficult to hear sample, but on this episode of my radio show: http://ribosomematt.podomatic.com/player/web/2012-07-11T00_27_26-07_00 ...I use PaulStretch at 0:34:23 on the chorus of "Buffalo Stance" by Neneh Cherry, stretching out the chorus to about 2.5 minutes. Of the timestretches I've heard, it's not my favorite. It sounds like it adds reverb to the sounds, and they get a lot more dirty. It makes things sound like a Tim Hecker record. (I like Tim Hecker quite a bit, but I don't want to sound like him.) Also, it doesn't have an interface for choosing the final duration. Instead, you choose how many times the original length you want the final length to be. (Selecting "2" will turn a 1 minute sample into a 2 minute sample.) So, if you're using it for something other than idle playing around, you'll need to whip out a calculator. I do like that it lets you choose the "windowing" setting (or something like that). That loosely lets you choose how grainy you want the timestretch to sound. -- Matt Davignon mattdavignon@gmail.com www.ribosomemusic.com Podcast! http://ribosomematt.podomatic.com On Mon, Jul 23, 2012 at 5:15 AM, Per Boysen <perboysen@gmail.com> wrote: > Who is Paul Stretch?
