Short-Time Time-Reversal (STTR, unofficially pronounced "stir") is a digital audio effect that reverses the audio locally in short time intervals, from milliseconds to seconds. Despite its simplicity, it is possible to obtain audio effects similar to grain reversers, chorus, digital delay, and bit-crushers.
A paper on STTR: "Short-Time Time-Reversal on Audio Signals" (DAFx-14)
A further study on using STTR as a harmonizing effect with code and sound examples can be found here.
