STRETCH QUARTET
STRETCH QUARTET
programmed by Remo De Vico
Stretch Quartet is an audio effect for Ableton Live
dedicated to time-stretching techniques.
It provides four independent buffers where you can record audio sequences ranging from 2 to 60 seconds, simply by clicking the Off / Rec button.
Each recorded sequence becomes an autonomous temporal layer with its own set of controls.
For every buffer you can adjust:
Pitch, from –48 to +48 semitones
Time-stretch playback speed, with negative values playing in reverse and positive values preserving forward time
Gain, allowing precise control over the balance between the four sequences
Stretch Quartet features five stereo outputs:
one master output containing the full mix,
and four dedicated outputs, one for each buffer.
This routing system allows you to build custom effect chains per sequence and to manage spatialization with great precision.
Stretch Quartet is a powerful tool for transforming a single sound into evolving textures
