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 from the two available time shifting modes.
BEAT: 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).
FREE: 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

AUTO DTCT

(Auto Detection) is enabled, MASCHINE automatically

detects the tempo of the original audio.

SRC BPM

(Source BPM, Beat
mode only)

SRC BPM

(Source BPM) allows to define the tempo of the original

audio (in BPM). This tempo is defined in different ways according to
the

AUTO DTCT

value:

If

AUTO DTCT

is enabled, you can set the length (in bars) of the

original audio. You can choose between 1/2, 1, and 2 bars. The
number between brackets indicates the resulting tempo (in BPM)
derived from the number of bars you have set and the computed

tempo value.
If

AUTO DTCT

is disabled, you can directly define the tempo of the

original audio (in BPM).
