Akaizer v2.5 for Windows
Akaizer is an audio application for Windows which can time stretch (and/or pitch shift) any WAVE or AIFF sound file in the style of the 'cyclic' time stretch which featured on old Akai sound samplers, like the S950 / S1000 / S2000 / S3000 series. This is ideal for DAW-based music producers who want that classic metallic-sounding effect, as used in many old school Hardcore / Jungle / Speed Garage tunes from the 1990s, without the need for an actual Akai sampler.
Features:
- Process WAVE or AIFF files.
- Two algorithms: CLASSIC simulates the Akai cyclic time stretch as faithfully as possible. REVISED improves on the classic algorithm.
- Time Stretch (25% to 2000%) and/or Pitch Shift (+/-36 semitones).
- Time Factor, Cycle Length and Transpose parameters are all fully adjustable.
Changes since v2.4:
- IMPROVED: Extended pitch shift functionality from +/-24 semitones to +/-36 semitones.
- REMOVED: The message displayed after saving a file. One less thing to click!
- CHANGED: Developer name and copyright details added back to the 'about' info.
