sand_stretch2

Remake of dblue_stretch, with some stuff added in.

Download it from here.

What does it do?

Stretches out audio, similar to how dblue_stretch does it.
But since everyone I know doesn't use it in that way (me included),
it also works as a sort of "glitch" machine.
It collects the input into the buffer and then outputs grains
with the given size, delayed by the given ratio.
Grains can be held in place, played in reverse, synced to a note duration, crossfaded,
or only grains where samples at the beginning and the end of it crossed 0 (zcrossed samples)

This plugin is not an exact 1:1 recreation of dblue_stretch and is not supposed to replace it.

Parameters

Name	Description	Only works if
trigger	start collecting samples and simultaneously output grains
hold	hold current grain
hold offset	offset currently held grain by amount of samples	hold is on
tempo	use size in note lengths instead of samples
reverse	play in reverse
declick	smooth out the edges between the end of the current grain and start of the next one 4 * (2 ^ declick) samples will be declicked	crossfade is off
grain	size of a grain in samples	tempo is off
note	size of a grain in note duration	tempo is on
ratio	how much should the input be stretched out by	disabled if hold is on and tempo is on
subdivision	adjusts note duration	hold is on and tempo is on
zcross size	if set, grain gets offset to the closest zcrossed sample then it's size is the distance to the next zcrossed sample determined by the amount	hold is on
zcross offset	offsets grain to the next window of zcrossed samples	hold is on
crossfade	crossfades between grains

How to build from source

Prerequesities

• JUCE
• Your system C++ build toolchain (Visual Studio on Windows, XCode on Mac, GCC/Clang on Linux, etc.

Building (the Projucer way)

• git clone https://github.com/s4n7r0/sand_stretch.git
• Open Projucer
• Open sand_stretch_remake.jucer in Projucer
• Select your system build configuration, save the project
• Build the plugin using the generated project in the Build folder. Which means:
  • Run Visual Studio/Xcode and open the appropriate project, either the generated .sln/xcodeproject or thru Projucer (Win/Mac)

  MAC

  • If wanna build the plugin in AU format, you need to add AU plugin format in Project Settings's in Projucer
  • Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme... > Run > Build Configuration > Select "Release"
  • Build
  • Built plugin in any format should be copied to "~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/" to their respective folders, but if not:
  • Copy the compiled sand_stretch2.vst3 from "Builds/MaxOSX/build/Release/sand_stretch2.vst3" to "~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3"
  • Copy the compiled sand_stretch2.component from "Builds/MaxOSX/build/Release/sand_stretch2.component" to "~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components" ( if building as an AU )

  WINDOWS

  • Select "Release" configuration (Win)
  • Build
  • Copy the compiled sand_stretch2.vst3 from "Builds\VisualStudio2022\x64\Release\VST3\sand_stretch2.vst3\Contents\x86_64-win" to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3" (Win)

  LINUX

  • cd Builds/LinuxMakefile && make CONFIG=Release
  • Built VST3 should be copied to "~/.vst3/" but if not:
  • mkdir ~/.vst3
  • mv "Builds/LinuxMakefile/build/sand_stretch2.vst3/Contents/x86_64-linux/sand_stretch2.so" "~/.vst3/sand_stretch2.vst3"
