no email replies and the forum is full of spam.

Well as far as I know, you can by the externals and use them.

Which is want I did. Both of them work very well, audio quality

is excellent.


I feel I have to warn you before you buy them. They don't sound transparent when playing back at normal speed and pitch. There is a bit of transient blurring and slight tremolo-ish sound. Elasticinex~ is the only one I use, and I made an abstraction that plays back via index~ at normal speed/pitch, and switches to elasticindex~ for anything else.

I emailed the elastic~ ppl about the sound quality and they said they would look into it, as they had intended it to be transparent at normal playback, but I've not heard back yet.

If you want higher quality time/pitch stretch playback, have a look at the patch from Mattijs Kneppers. His patch really does sound transparent at normal playback!

Despite all that ^^^^ they are good externals, and can be really useful.

I was just wondering if they continue this project / if there will come any updates anymore ...

timlloyd, could upload your abstraction as a patch?

"that plays back via index~ at normal speed/pitch, and switches to elasticindex~ for anything else".

I did something similar. but it doesn't work smoothly.

My abstraction wouldn't work smoothly in most cases, as I'm only using elasticindex~ as a cheap "granular freeze" effect rather than variable playback.

But I just knocked this up which should do what you want smoothy:

The only thing is, I've not tested how it sounds if you quickly pass over a value of 1 for speed or pitch. There might be a little smooth "pop" as it switches, not sure.

edit ----- just changed the patch a little because before there were settings which would switch back to index~ other than 1, 1.

I recently bought elastic~, and I was wondering the same thing: Where are they?

I sent them an email, and they eventually replied. Took some time, though. They are "busy with other projects", which is why their forum looks like a mess.

I use all three: elastic~, elasticx~, and elasticindex~.

The sound quality of elastic~ is much better, it does 

play back the sound properly when it is "unaltered".
