CatStretch 3 Out Now

CatStretch 3 Spex tab

CatStretch is an amazing sound design tool that I’ve been using for pretty much every song since it was first released. It is a 6-voice polyphonic time-stretching sample playback instrument that essentially lets you ‘freeze’ a sonic character at a specified position and play it back chromatically with MIDI notes.

Now Christian Kleine, the one behind Max for Cats, has gone and added a lot of new features that make CatStretch 3 even more versatile and powerful. It contains more effects, more options for modulation, and with the added pitch bend you could even make talking robot sounds like Wall-E. It also got a redesign to fit perfectly with any Live theme you may be using.


 

New features in CatStretch 3:

  • New multi-breakpoint envelope can be used to modulate
  • New Grain effect
  • New Spectral Filter
  • New interpolation methods in the system section for different stretch results
  • Redesign to work with different Live themes
  • Mono/Poly mode switch
  • Reverse stretching
  • Key/Fix switch to prevent MIDI pitch following
  • Stretch now a modulation target
  • Added Pitchbend

Adding all of these new features entailed months of work, so we’ve decided not to offer it as a free update for current users this time, but as a paid upgrade. Those of you who have purchased CatStretch in the past, whether it’s as an individual pack, in the Max for Cats Bundle 2 or as part of the Max for Cats Complete Collection, can get it for a third of the price (EUR 10 // USD 12) and should have a discount code for it already waiting in your inbox.

CatStretch 3 is available for EUR 30 // USD 35 from the Sonic Bloom shop. Users of CatStretch 2 can upgrade for EUR 10 // USD 12 with a discount code.
