STRETCHPLAYER(1)

NAME
stretchplayer - audio player with time stretch and pitch shift

SYNOPSIS

stretchplayer [file]

DESCRIPTION

stretchplayer is an audio file player that allows you to change the speed of the song without changing the pitch. It will also allow you to transpose the song to another key (while also changing the speed independently). This is a very powerful tool for musicians who are learning to play a pre-recorded song. Its features include:

•   Time Stretch (25% to 125% of song speed, without changing pitch)

•   Pitch shift (up or down 1 octave)

•   A/B repeat

•   Lots of keyboard accelerators

    The player supports all the audio formats that libsndfile supports, which currently includes OGG/Vorbis, WAV, W64, AIFF, SND, and FLAC. Note that neither libsndfile nor StretchPlayer supports MP3 files for patent liability reasons.

    stretchplayer takes no arguments other than an optional file to play.
