    Hello.
    I need to stretch a series of synth notes (very simple piano sounds) from 0.75sec to 1.1sec.
    The problem is that I get sounds with a sort of wah-wah effect, especially at their end.
    Is it possible to avoid such a result ?
    Thank you very much for your attention,
    Danilo

    PS
    And thank you very much for SoundTouch !

    I have the same problem. In my case it's more like a stuttering.

    I configured soundTouch like this

    setSettings(SETTINGS_USE_AA_FILTER, 1);
    setSettings(SETTINGS_AA_FILTER_LENGHT, 1);
    setSettings(SETTINGS_USE_QUICKSEEK, 0);
    setSettings(SETTINGS_SEQUENCE_MS, 40);
    setSettings(SETTINGS_SEEKWINDOW_MS, 15);
    setSettings(SETTINGS_OVERLAP_MS, 8);

    and I doubled the sample rate and halved the pitch

    SoundTouch works by chopping sound into shortish sequences, and mixing these back together. Due to this approach the sound may get echoing wah-wah artifact particularly when slowing down the tempo a lot, or increasing the pitch a lot.

    If artifact is present even at small tempo/pitch adjustments, then it's about something else, like incorrect samplerate, or other processing parameters.

    Surveying Martin's parameter set above, setting the SETTINGS_AA_FILTER_LENGTH parameter to 1 seems peculiar: The AA filter is a FIR filter so the filter length should be at least 32 or more. If you don't wish to use a proper AA filter, then rather disable it.
