6th January 2019
RaySpace discontinued
RaySpace is no longer available.
It's mainly because of not being able to update the code to 64 bit without a complete re-write, and administering the complicated registration process which went wrong with many people due to the Windows & Apple 'gatekeeper' process that was introduced since the plug-in was made. Plus, a lot of piracy didn't help me much!
A new version may be considered in the future.
Thanks,
Dave Hoskins.
QuikQuak audio.

14th September, 2012
Copula time shifting library and demo updated to version 5.05
* Timing accurate tempo changes.
This unique feature gives you complete control over tempo without the need for complex fading or mulitple
instances just to keep accuracy. Enabling wild tempo and pitch changes while still keeping the
mathematically correct transport locations over time.
* All tempo and pitch changing times are fed through the input samples to insure accuracy.
* Complete rewrite of user interface, changed from 'pull' based to 'push,' which means instead of Copula
requesting data when it needs it using a call-back function, you now request what is needed then feed the
data into the buffers. This is compatible with the internal workings of most DAWs.

29th November, 2011:
Copula time shifting library and demo updated to version 3.0
* Transient thresholds now equal across all frequencies, fixing the varying arrival locations for time shifted
frequencies. This locks more frequencies together, thus removing many artefacts from time shifted transients.
* Increased phase transient dependency, graphed with extensive listening tests, which basically improves
transient capturing and multichannel locking.
* Steep anti-aliasing filter, for the flattest possible frequency output.
* 64 bit versions.
Please try the PC demo, built using the latest library here.
Copula Time Shifter is a pitch and time library available for PC and Mac. It's extemely efficient and is the best sounding shifter available.

A sharp filtering tool and transient editor, which is also great for 'Mash-ups' and general sampling.
Separate different parts of a full mix, manipulating zones of frequencies and stereo locations.
Up to eight zones can be created that can then be panned, emphasised or cut out completely, in both onset and sustain.

24th July '10 update:
Free Copula Demo available.
It's a time stretching and pitch shifting engine like no other.
It completely separates the notion of time and pitch and allows you to move freely and smoothly
between the two, in glitch free real-time.
Notable for its transient accuracy, and bass stability, Copula has a larger pitch range, and more natural
time stretching than the best algorithms available today.
The demo is a small stand-alone PC executable, that lets you load Wave files and control their time and pitch independently. It comes with a selection of test audio files.
Copula makes it seem easy, but it took a long time to create.
Soon available for licensing, all enquiries are welcome.
Download here - uncompress the Zip file, then run the install.

spaces, or tight metallic boxes.
* New GUI design, with an optimised animated display.
* All aspects of the filtering, Decay, Spread and Distance parameters are now shown on the main display.
Using a cloud representation of time and frequency energy, to give an instant visual interpretation.
You'll know what it sounds like directly from this impression.

* Algorithm optimisations to allow for these additional features, keeping CPU resources as low as possible.

07th March '08 update:
New plug-in coming soon!
The 'Crowd Chamber' (working title) plug-in is a voice multiplier.
It alters and modulates the spectral content and the velocity of a sound to make a slightly different one, and then layers this back at a desired stereo position. Forty voices have been tested, and they sound like a choir while being cheap on CPU. Chaining the effect into other instances we've had 40*40*40*40 voices running, which sounded like a crazy muddle - but then 2.5 million people would! The plug-in can of course be used very musically, with lush chorus and subtle fattening. The many possibilties of this are currently being studied.
'Crowd Chamber' is expected due in April.

6th January 2019
RaySpace discontinued
RaySpace is no longer available.
It's mainly because of not being able to update the code to 64 bit without a complete re-write, and administering the complicated registration process which went wrong with many people due to the Windows & Apple 'gatekeeper' process that was introduced since the plug-in was made. Plus, a lot of piracy didn't help me much!
A new version may be considered in the future.
Thanks,
Dave Hoskins.
QuikQuak audio.

14th September, 2012
Copula time shifting library and demo updated to version 5.05
* Timing accurate tempo changes.
This unique feature gives you complete control over tempo without the need for complex fading or mulitple
instances just to keep accuracy. Enabling wild tempo and pitch changes while still keeping the
mathematically correct transport locations over time.
* All tempo and pitch changing times are fed through the input samples to insure accuracy.
* Complete rewrite of user interface, changed from 'pull' based to 'push,' which means instead of Copula
requesting data when it needs it using a call-back function, you now request what is needed then feed the
data into the buffers. This is compatible with the internal workings of most DAWs.

A sharp filtering tool and transient editor, which is also great for 'Mash-ups' and general sampling.

24th July '10 update:
Free Copula Demo available.
It's a time stretching and pitch shifting engine like no other.
It completely separates the notion of time and pitch and allows you to move freely and smoothly
between the two, in glitch free real-time.
Notable for its transient accuracy, and bass stability, Copula has a larger pitch range, and more natural
time stretching than the best algorithms available today.
The demo is a small stand-alone PC executable, that lets you load Wave files and control their time and pitch independently. It comes with a selection of test audio files.
Copula makes it seem easy, but it took a long time to create.
Soon available for licensing, all enquiries are welcome.
Download here - uncompress the Zip file, then run the install.

Using a cloud representation of time and frequency energy, to give an instant visual interpretation.
You'll know what it sounds like directly from this impression.

07th March '08 update:
New plug-in coming soon!
The 'Crowd Chamber' (working title) plug-in is a voice multiplier.
It alters and modulates the spectral content and the velocity of a sound to make a slightly different one, and then layers this back at a desired stereo position. Forty voices have been tested, and they sound like a choir while being cheap on CPU. Chaining the effect into other instances we've had 40*40*40*40 voices running, which sounded like a crazy muddle - but then 2.5 million people would! The plug-in can of course be used very musically, with lush chorus and subtle fattening. The many possibilties of this are currently being studied.
'Crowd Chamber' is expected due in April.
