[linux-audio-user] music engine

[Malte Steiner]

Hello,

I am looking for a library to integrate in an application too, but c/c++.
Interesting is sndobj by Victor Lazzarini

http://music.nuim.ie/musictec/SndObj/

who is also involved in csound development. It can do all the things you 
mentioned below

except that it has no python bindings and I have difficulties to get it 
running on my machines, but I contacted Victor already to figure out if 
its just me.

On the paper it looked very well suited for your task, changing pitch 
and speed of samples independently, either with granular synthesis like 
Live or phasevocoder like -maybe, nobody knows- Rolands V-Synth.

Cheers,

Malte
