SoundTouch Audio Processing Library

The latest stable release is 1.9.2 released on 20-September-2015. See README for release details and what's new in this release.

About the SoundTouch library

SoundTouch is an open-source audio processing library for changing the Tempo, Pitch and Playback Rates of audio streams or audio files. The library additionally supports estimating stable beats-per-minute rates for audio tracks.

Tempo (time stretch): Changes the sound to play at faster or slower tempo than originally without affecting the sound pitch.
Pitch (key) : Changes the sound pitch or key while keeping the original tempo (speed).
Playback Rate : Changes both tempo and pitch together as if a vinyl disc was played at different RPM rate.

The SoundTouch library is intended for application developers writing sound processing tools that require tempo/pitch control functionality, or just for playing around with the sound effects.

The SoundTouch library source kit includes also an example utility SoundStretch for processing .wav audio files from command-line interface.

SoundTouch library Features

Portable implementation: The SoundTouch library compiles for any processor and OS platform supporting GNU C compiler (gcc) or Visual Studio, for example Windows, Mac OS, Linux & other *nixes, Raspberry Pi, Android, Apple iOS...
Full source codes available for both the SoundTouch library and the example application.
Easy-to-use programming interface via a single C++ class.
16bit integer and 32bit floating point mono/stereo/multi-channel audio formats supported
Real-time audio stream processing possible:
- input/output latency max. ~ 100 ms.
- Processing 44.1kHz/16bit stereo sound in realtime requires a 133 Mhz Intel Pentium processor or better ;-)
Efficient C++ implementation of time-stretch, pitch-shift and sample rate transposing routines.
MMX & SSE instruction set optimizations for x86 processors, and OpenMP optimization for generic multi-core CPUs.
Compiled executable binaries supplied for Windows, Mac OS & Android
