Buy elastic~ here!
Incorporating the same algorhythm as software giants Cubase, Ableton Live, and Kontakt, elastic~ is a powerful and intuitive tool for looping, pitch-bending and time-stretching audio within MaxMSP.
What is it?
elastic~ works very much like the established groove~ object found in the standard MaxMSP library but with two totally independent controls: Pitch and Speed. The algorhythm used is designed specifically for 'musical' material, allowing a natural sounding pitch shift up to an octave above and below the original pitch of your sample, whilst playing back at up to double or half speed. elastic~ is the easiest to use, highest quality, pitch-shifting / time stretching object available for MaxMSP.
FAQ: What is max MSP?

What does that allow me to do?
With elastic~ it's easy to tempo match loops together (either to each other or a global tempo); create a sampler that doesn't change the speed of your sample as you change pitch; correct out of tune samples; create harmonizers; and just generally loop and bend and warp and stretch and...... words can be a bit rubbish sometimes so here's a short demonstration video.
How do I get it?
Well it is only available from this site through Paypal (using any major card). Once paid for you will have access to download the external object along with some help files so you can use it straight away. We hope you have as much fun with it as we have! Happy processing!
