DSP Dimension Releases Dirac 3.5 – Introduces DiracFx API
Mainz, Germany, September 13th, 2011 – The DSP Dimension today announces the immediate availability of version 3.5 of its award winning cross-platform time stretching and pitch shifting library DIRAC. Version 3.5 is a free update for licensed users and adds new features to the Dirac core and the DiracRetune API, such as key mapping and automation callbacks. It also introduces “DiracFx”, a new API that offers transient-aware time stretching and pitch shifting for polyphonic music at unprecedented speed and unbelievable quality. DiracFx is the world’s first time stretching algorithm that does its DSP magic without using trigonometric functions, resulting in dramatically increased performance over traditional FFT based methods.
The free DiracLE library has also been updated and now contains a free DiracFx AudioUnit pitch shifting plug-in for MacOS X 10.5 and higher (32 and 64bit Universal), that can be used with all AudioUnit aware host applications on any MacOS X system. Plenty of example projects for Linux, MacOS X, iOS and Windows are included with DiracLE, which can be downloaded for free from http://dirac.dspdimension.com
The DSP Dimension Releases DIRAC2 on Windows, MacOS X, Linux and iPhone
Mainz, Germany, October 23rd, 2009 — The DSP Dimension is proud to announce the release of version 2 of its much anticipated DIRAC2 Time Stretching and Pitch Shifting object library now available for Windows, MacOS X, Linux and the Apple iPhone. DIRAC2 is available as both a commercial object library offering unlimited sample rates and phase locked multichannel support and as a free single channel, 44.1/48kHz LE version.
Our free DIRAC2 LE project offers the full audio quality of the commercial version, is fully documented and easy to understand, and compiles and works right out of the box. Think of the potential that you can unleash in your app (and the added value) by writing just half a page worth of additional code without even investing a single dollar.
About DIRAC2
DIRAC2 redefines the limits of what todays’ technology can do for your application if you want to change the speed and pitch of music independently without sacrificing quality. Used by leading hi-end audio processing applications and custom built solutions in studios around the world, DIRAC2 is the improved successor to our critically acclaimed DIRAC time stretching and pitch shifting technology that works with both musically monophonic and polyphonic signals with equal ease and success. Its straightforward API makes this an ideal tool for any software project that requires time stretching and pitch shifting.
From Creativity to Hi-End Mastering
DIRAC2 can be used wherever speed and pitch of audio need to be changed independently of each other: for NTSC/PAL frame rate conversion, for adjusting the length of an ad to fit into a predefined time frame, for changing speed and pitch of audio tracks for remixing. It does all these tasks without making your music sound unnatural or altering the stereo image and instrument localization.
