Why do all the fancy sts5000 stuff in realtime?

It is my impression, that it does consume quite a lot of power to do this formant and timestreching stuff. So why not have a program, that does it all at once and never again?

What I am searching for is a tool, that works like this:

1) I have recorded the sample of my life.
2) I push a button.
3) my machine works for ages.
4) I've got all the samples from the lowest key on my keyboard to the highest one.
5) Now I can just load the whole bunch of them as one sample program. No more need for DSP/CPU hungry realtime processing.

Does anyone know of such a tool?
If not, feel free to steal my idea, make the program and sell a copy of it to me :wink:

Interesting idea, I like it. I suppose it would simply take quite a bit of RAM, and there are no "real time"-native-streaming solutions on computers that I know of (there is latency on all native samplers like giga, etc). I suppose as processor power increases and lower latencies are possible, a disk-streaming solution like this might be possible. But to do it realtime in RAM would take too much space probably...

Edit to step 4:

4) I've got all the samples from the lowest key on my keyboard to the highest one ON MY HARD DRIVE - the proces only needs to be done once, after that I will allways load from my hard drive.
