VST “varispeed” plugin — Pitch & Speed control ?? – Effects Forum

TS2 is top-notch but it is a standalone application, not a plugin.

Interesting problem though. So you just want to insert a plugin on an audio track in your DAW which contains vocals or synths or something, and have arbitrary control over the playback speed of that material at any point in your project? I don’t believe a plugin is available which will offer purely this; most folks don’t tend to want to place the contents of a project channel into another buffer for manipulation – I think most folks just use the audio modification tools in their DAW. With that in mind, I don’t believe any developer has created a plugin like this unfortunately.

Your modified tempo could easily be calculated (within a plugin doing this) but pitch changes will depend on the notes in the audio.

On the other hand, you could probably-relatively-easily create something in Reaktor/Bidule/(the max/msp extension for AbletonLive) to do this.

On the other _other_ hand you could just drop your audio into a sampler and use pitch-bend to change the playback speed.

Remember, with normal audio files, and no clever FFT (of the like you’d find in TS2) processing, playback speed and relative pitch are linked. Play it faster, stuff is higher in pitch and happens faster; play it slower stuff is lower in pitch and stuff happens slower.

Hope you find a solution!
