[chuck-users] PItShift and SndBuff .rate = Scrubbing?

This would work as well, and behind the scenes the pitch-shifter would most
likely be doing exactly what I described. You'd get the ratio by taking the
absolute (so non-negative) playback rate and dividing that on one. I'm not
sure from memory how the ratio of the pitch-shifter worked so that might
need some poking around.

It's a perfectly valid approach, certainly. I would pick the LiSa method as
doing the fading in and out directly on the file (as opposed to internally
in he pitch-shifter) would help mask any artefacts resulting from the
read-pointer jumping around as a result of the scrubbing process.

Then again; only you know what your program's structure will be and what
your needs are. We can try all sorts of tricks to get rid of artefacts, but
then many people like a rougher sound for this kind of technique. I suggest
you just try it and see where you end up. No one way is universally
"better".

Good luck!
Kas.
