The stretch controls at the bottom of the Edit page.
These controls allow you to adjust the parameters of the time stretching / pitch shifting func-
tion before applying it to the selected region. Pitch shifting and time stretching can be applied
independently.
The following parameters are available:
Parameter
Description
STRETCH section
TUNE
Adjusts the detuning (pitch shifting) to be applied (in semitones and
cents). Leave this value to
0.00
to leave the original pitch untouched.
FORMANT C
(Formant Correction)
Enables/disables the formant correction. Formant correction allows the
pitch-shifted audio to retain the timbre (or “color”) of the original
audio as much as possible. This is especially useful for melodic
instruments.
MODE
Selects between
Beat
and
Free
mode:
In
Beat
mode, the new tempo is defined relative to the time signature
(the beats and bars) of the original audio. This can be useful if you
sampled a loop with a clearly defined rhythm (e.g., a drum loop).
In
Free
mode, the new tempo is defined independently from the time
signature of the source. This is more suited for non-rhythmic Samples.
In this mode only one parameter is available:
SPEED
(see below).
AUTO DTCT
(Auto
Detection, Beat
mode only)
If enabled, MASCHINE automatically detects the tempo of the original
audio.
