Extreme Time Stretching
I was wondering if there's anyone interested in developping this as max for live patch... :-)
. . . or have a go yourself?
You can find all the resources here:

Hi Brendan, yes I know that all the sources are there, it's in the description of that video. I know absolutely nothing about max or any coding or of any software developing in general.
Trust me, I would have done it if I had any idea!
I thought it could be an interesting project for someone who's into that and not too hard I suppose, just a suggestion.
. . . and it is a very good suggestion! But as you posted in the M4L forum, I'm guessing that you at least know a little bit of Max4Live? If so, then my first question would be, can you run [pfft~] and Jitter objects inside M4L, as JFC's patches rely on these tools?
Do you own Max? If not, you can play with his patches in Max Runtime, I guess. But yes, I can see how these tools would be attractive to Ableton users. Incidentally, there are granulators out there which also do very good time stretching, such as Robert Henke (Monolake).
JFC's Spectral Processing tools have really stood the test of time :)

I'm a max4live user, meaning I use patches that people do like I do with let's say vst effects, purely as a musician. I don't understand how things really work or how to customize patches and all that. I know it's possible to use a max patch in ableton live via max4live, that's all.
I love the granulator patch but that example I posted is the only one that do a smooth slow stretch of a live input.
What I would love to see one day is a similar effect to paulstretch that can be used live to create those ambient soundscapes out of what I'm playing live...
I hear you and there'll be a lovely device for that later this year.
Tell me more! :-)
There is already the excellent "granular" patch of Robert Henke who do the same,
The Granulator patch of Monolake is awesome but in my opinion is quite a different tool, I'm not an expert but I think it "works" in a different way as well, Paulstretch is not granular and to my ears it sounds unique. Maybe granulator sounds closer to the one in the video I posted though.
Hi again
If you have [gen~], try my time-stretching pitch-munging granular playback thingy, and see whatcha think:
disclaimer: blur and speed parameters must be juggled to get the "best" response from it - and it is also very sensitive to the nature of the processed file (harmonic, melodic or rhythmic).
Best
