The élastiqueAAX Black Friday deal takes 33% off zplane's offline time and pitch plugin for Pro Tools, which brings it to $208.37 until Nov 6, 2026.
élastiqueAAX is an AudioSuite plugin, so it works offline and renders faster than real-time. It handles time stretching and pitch shifting on audio inside Pro Tools.
Under the hood it runs the élastiquePro V3 engine. zplane says that engine is built into numerous DAWs and used by millions of people, and that it gives the same stretch and shift quality no matter which program hosts it.
It changes the length of a clip without changing its pitch, and it changes the pitch without changing the length. Both are applied as an offline process, so you print the result to the clip rather than hearing it live on a track.
The interface is laid out so every parameter is within quick reach. The maker says that is meant to give you maximum control with minimal fuss.
The formant option matters when you shift vocals or other voiced material by a large interval. With formants preserved, the vocal character stays in place while the pitch moves.
The pull-up and pull-down presets cover the standard film frame-rate conversions, so you don't have to work out the ratios by hand.
The plugin comes as AAX32 and AAX64 and runs as an AudioSuite offline process. It accepts audio of 1 to 8 channels at sample rates from 32kHz to 192kHz.
On Mac it needs OS 10.7 or later, and on Windows it needs version 7 or later. The host must be Pro Tools 12.8.1 or newer.
If you work in another DAW, note that this build is for Pro Tools only. zplane's élastique engine appears in many hosts, but this AAX version targets Avid's platform.
For mixing and post work in Pro Tools, it sits in the AudioSuite menu next to your other offline processors. Select a clip, set the stretch ratio or semitone shift, preview if you want, and render.
