Monophonic
The Monophonic plug-in is best suited to mono-
phonic material where you want to keep the for-
mant relationships intact, such as with vocals.
The Monophonic plug-in is also well suited to
monophonic instrumental lines, such as a bass
track. The Monophonic plug-in provides no
plug-in specific parameters.
Varispeed
Use the Varispeed plug-in to link time and pitch
changes for tape-like speed change effects, and
post production workflows. The Varispeed plug-
in provides no plug-in specific controls.
X-Form
(Rendered Only)
The X-Form Elastic Audio plug-in is a modified
version of Digidesign’s standalone X-Form Au-
dioSuite processing plug-in (based on the Ra-
dius
®
algorithm from iZotope). The X-Form
Elastic Audio plug-in is for Rendered Elastic Au-
dio processing only and cannot process in real-
time or as an AudioSuite plug-in. It provides the
highest quality time compression algorithms for
music production, sound design, and audio loop
applications.
Elastic Audio plug-in: Monophonic
Elastic Audio pitch shifting is not supported
with the Monophonic algorithm.
The Monophonic plug-in analyzes pitch as
well as peak transients in order to provide
higher quality TCE to pitched material.
Consequently, analysis for the Monophonic
algorithm takes longer than for the Poly-
phonic, Rhythmic, and Varispeed algo-
rithms. Also, when switching from another
Elastic Audio plug-in to Monophonic,
Pro Tools reanalyzes any audio on the track
to collect the extra analysis data.
Elastic Audio plug-in: Varispeed
Try using Varispeed with Quantize on drum
loops for some interesting effects.
