Prosoniq TimeFactory Audio Time Stretcher

January 28, 1999 -- Prosoniq TimeFactory is a novel tool for both the PowerMac and PC platform dedicated to perform high quality time stretching and pitch shifting on your final mix. It uses the latest advances in DSP technology to achieve time stretching amounts of up to one third the original length, ie. 133% and more (or pitch shifting of up to 5 semitones) without audible loss in quality. This is as much as slowing down a complete musical piece from 120 BPM to 90 BPM, or vice-versa. With TimeFactory, you are free to choose the tempo of your recording at a result that is indistinguishable from the original within a large range of scaling ratios without endlessly tweaking dozens of parameters.
