Nice timestretching/granular synthesis externals/patches
Would anyone be able to suggest some nice granular synthesis/timestretching patches or externals for changing the contents of a buffer in real time. Ideally it will allow adjustments of grain spacing, grain size, pitch, and time stretching plus any other fancy new parameter changes, I have seen grainstretch...
cheers,

This is very very nice, and now free I just noticed which is pretty immense. It's stand alone.
looks like it was made in max but I could be wrong.... enjoy.
This sounds great. The only problem is that, as Kagi is no more, you can't register it so you will always get that blast of white noise every 60 seconds.
It's actually free now. I found a user name and code on the website for the app. (Not at my computer at the moment, so I can't just pass it on right now).
MacPOD has always been the best, and Chris Rolfe is a MaxMSP Guru and more.
I'm happy people are finally realizing that now.

MACPOD IS NOW FREE!
Use the following code to unlock either Mac OR Windows demo copy:
User Email: FREE
Registration Code: ZQ482000
I saw that but the problem is that you still need to click the authorisation button to get it to work. Said button takes you to the now dead kagi page.
TYPE:
FREE in the email slot
then the registration code ZQ482000
It should automatically authorize.
At leats that's what it did when I tried again.
No need to click anywhere else.

Thanks, G. Not sure what I did wrong last time but working now.
It is indeed nice - but I need something I can use in max....
There is this thread with a few good suggestions, which is still mostly relevant :

Great thread - elasticx~ sounds excellent but unforunately the website on the thread is no longer there. Any idea where I could get it ?
I used to use elasticx etc exclusively - lovely sound (for my purposes) and fairly low cpu usage. Unfortunately it hasn't been supported for quite a while, and I started getting lots of problems using it (Max crashing suddenly and so on) So I think you're out of luck.
Brendan McCloskey's gen~ based granulator sounds very similar (and is what I use now), though it's a bit more hard work on the cpu than elasticx was. Michael Norris's new object also sounds very good, but I found it too cpu intensive to work alongside everything else that's going on in my patcher. YMMV.
Personally and subjectively, I still have to defer to Timo's "grainstretch" external. It's flawless. I am very grateful for David's mention of my own humble contribution to this domain, and grainstretch was the inspiration for my own work ("granary").
@david. I continue to pursue optimization and refinement of Granary, in my 'spare' time, with the long-term goal of making this algorithm more widely available - Python, SC, Max external, yada yada yada.

@giorgio
for me, it all began with elasticx~ I think. Or was it Ross Bencina's DLGranulator?
spindrift~ sure looks like something else !
there's some good ones in the package manager
