Description

Our latest version of Elastik, developed in conjunction with
zplane.development, is the most powerful that we have ever
developed. It provides a complete toolkit for modern music
producers working with audio loops. Audio loops can be an essential
part of many musicians creative process and, with Elastik, you get
a fast, efficient and flexible set of tools.

With its intuitive Loopeye editing environment, the high-quality
pitch and tempo manipulation algorithms build into its playback
engine, the ease with which it can be used either as a stand-alone
application or as a plugin within almost any DAW on both Windows
and OSX platforms and the huge collection of Elastik-ready sample
libraries spanning almost every conceivable musical genre, Elastik
is a powerful workstation for loop-based music creation.


Creative Tool

While Elastik is a hugely creative tool, it also provides an
extremely efficient workflow. The streamlined browser means that no
matter how large your Elastik loop library becomes, you can always
find just the right loop in an efficient fashion. Elastik also
includes advanced features such as tagging and filtering make it
easy to narrow down any search. The browser allows you to easily
audition loops in realtime in sync with your project. And if you
want to add new loop libraries from the Ueberschall range, the
authorization process is fast and secure.

Once you have identified loops to use within your project, they
can mapped to Elastik's virtual keyboard ready to be triggered from
within Elastik, via your MIDI keyboard or from your host sequencer.
A range of different triggering methods are available so you can
ensure that your loops stay locked in sync with your project.
Elastik's sophisticated time and pitch shifting algorithms --
featuturing zplane's cutting edge audio processing technology -
maximizes audio quality and means you have independent control over
both and maximum flexibility when it comes to matching loops to the
tempo and key of any project.


The Elastik-Engine

The engine is, however, also very efficient, meaning that you also
get CPU-friendly processing. And if you want complete control over
the time and pitch stretching process, the new Time tab within the
Loopeye editor allows you to choose between six different
algorithms, from the simple and super efficient PitchSpeed to the
high quality ProV3 which gives you the maximum scope for varying
pitch and tempo while minimizing audio artifacts. This tab also
includes new stretching FX for additional creative options.

In addition to the pitch and tempo manipulation, Elastik's central
Loopeye forms a detailed loop-editing tool. A large number of
parameters can be adjusted, including slice-based pitch-shifting,
volume and pan adjustment, reverse, formant adjusted, filtered and
resampled. Elastik even includes a random sound replacement
function; one click of the random button and Elastik will suggest
an alternative loop, providing just that bit of additional
inspiration when you need it. All this can be done on the fly and
without leaving the Elastik environment.
