Warning
This project is currently unmaintained. It has been superceded by timestretch player. Play it slowly will likely not work on modern linux distributions anymore. If someone wants to continue working on play it slowly I'd be glad to hand over maintainership.
'Play it Slowly' is a tool to help you when practicing or transcribing music. It allows you to play a piece of music at a different speed or pitch.
- The following keyboard shortcuts exist:
- Alt + P or SPACE: Play/Pause
- Alt + e: Rewind
- CTRL + 1-9: Rewind (x seconds)
You can select which audiodevice playitslowly uses by passing a gstreamer sink with the --sink commandline parameter.
Example: playitslowly "--sink=alsasink device=plughw:GT10" or playitslowly "--sink=alsasink device=hw:1"
You can also use other sinks than alsa.
To install use you need to have the following libraries installed:
- Python 3.4 or newer
- PyGI (Python GObject Introspection)
- GTK3
- gstreamer 1.0 including the soundtouch/pitch element (included in gstreamer-plugins-bad)
Normally these libraries are already installed on your system.
To install play it slowly execute: python setup.py install as
superuser (root). If you are using a gnome based system like Ubuntu
you can just doubleclick install.sh and select run.
The source code of play it slowly is hosted on github:
