## paulstretch

paulstretch — Extreme time-stretching algorithm by Nasca Octavian Paul.

## Description

The paulstretch opcode is a lightweight implementation of the PaulStretch time-stretching algorithm by Nasca Octavian Paul. It is ideal for timestretching a signal by very large amounts.

The Paulstretch algorithm works very similarly to other STFT-based timestretching methods, using overlap-add with a hanning window. Unique to paulstretch are the use of scrambled phase and very large window sizes (specified in seconds).

## Syntax

    asig paulstretch istretch, iwindowsize, ift

## Initialization

istretch -- Stretch factor.

iwindowsize -- Window size, in seconds.

ift -- source signal function table. Deferred-allocation tables (see GEN01) are accepted, but the opcode expects a mono source.

## Examples

Here is an example of the paulstretch opcode. It uses the file paulstretch.csd
