It will also allow +you to transpose the song to another key (while also changing the +speed). 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, and 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. + +This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with +elevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). This +may be considered a security/stability risk. Please read +http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To disable +capabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script. |
