also i had a thought on possibly building something into a time stretching module that could connect the use of a timer + counter that could stretch samples playing 1 time by pressing a trigger or similar control (shape, button CTRL, etc) and having this type of feature built into a wave player module or something..... if its possible ???

time stretching (for those unaware of what this is) = preserving the pitch while manipulating sample length

Should be possible for single-pitched samples (PSOLA). Stretching polyphonic material would be trickier.

Hi, I have done some work on this for my samplers and loopers - hopefully you will find the stuff useful in the thread HERE - basically a grain player with very primitive pitch detection, but it shows the principle in action. And do follow up martin's suggestion - a quick google will find lots of very good articles about the PSOLA technique - you seem to have the maths abilities to understand them better than I do!

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
