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.
