Anemond presents Sloom - Extreme Timestretcher

Free demo: anemond.net
Introducting Sloom , a new VST/AU plug-in and standalone application by Anemond. Sloom is a timestretcher with a spectral shape module. It can stretch your sound to extremely long durations, creating slowly evolving sound textures. In addition to a collection of timestretching algorithms, Sloom includes a spectral shaping and modulation section to further manipulate the resulting texture, and to avoid producing static sounds when extremely high stretching factors are used. It can operate on both audio files and real-time audio input.

Finally an real alternative to paulxstretch! Hyped!❤

[@danielcatron1979]

I remember a developer announcing an extreme stretch plugin but couldn’t remember who. Then I see your video and remember why I was excited-your algos and UI approaches are so excellent. Instant buy!

[@anemond]

thanks so much! hope you like it

[@markbelcher1777]

Paul Stretch - but this is is on steroids

[@akuro2685]

So glad I looked at my RUclips recommended videos today! Your products seem awesome, instantly subbed! Looking forward to demoing everything!

[@ZipSnipe]

But can it stretch to the BPM?

[@sgghaghashg]

Do you have any plans to add a pitchbend and reverse?

[@tobytodelafontena]

Hi! Congratulations on this new sound object! Is there a loyalty price? That's a question, not a request : )

[@anemond]

thanks! sorry, we haven't planned a discount plan yet, other than the student discounts

[@tobytodelafontena]

@@anemond no problem !

[@loopyctv]

Was looking forward to trying/buying this...but the demo 'disk image' (.dmg) states 'no mountable file systems' on both my 10.9.5 and 10.11.6 machines?

[@anemond]

please send an email to [e-mail] and we'll look into it

[@AldoFurioso]

Hi, it would be interesting to know something about the 5 different algorithms available. Thank you.

[@anemond]

there is a short description in the manual: anemond.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/sloom_manual.pdf hope that helps!

[@AldoFurioso]

@@anemond ok Thanks

[@cryptout]

Really cool, just a heads up, your website doesn’t work on iphone with chrome browser.

[@FrancisBourre]

Is there any algorithm value you brought into this product compared to PaulXStretch?

[@anemond]

PaulXStretch is awesome! In Sloom you can choose between 5 different stretching algorithms, and maybe more importantly there is a spectral shaping and modulation section to graphically modify the spectrum of the stretched sound in real time.

Does it work with live input?

[@anemond]

yes, it can work with both live input and files (live input is not supported on Logic Pro though)

[@No.17TypeS]

@@anemond Oh, bummer! Any reasons why?

[@anemond]

@@No.17TypeS Logic Pro accepts plug ins that can either process live input (effects) or that can generate sound (instruments), but unfortunately it doesn't accept plug-ins doing both. So for Sloom we had to choose to support either live input or file-based playback for Logic Pro and we reckoned the latter was the main use case and ended up packaging it as a "software instrument" for Logic Pro. We'll be listening to user feedback during these first days after release and might change that. An alternative would be to ship 2 different versions for Logic Pro (effect and instrument), but we don't love that solution for now...

[@PhilShrimpton]

@@anemond "Live" would be be my preferred use case for this plugin, so +1 for the two versions one for instrument and one for FX - I have a number of other plugins that have and instrument and FX versions, so is quite a common solution

[@anemond]

@@PhilShrimpton thanks, feedback seems to be heading in this direction!
