Ratio:
Enter the ratio of timestretch here - between 50% (twice the speed) and 200% (half the
speed), 100% being the original speed. A range of plus or minus 10% gives the best results,
larger settings may produce unwanted effects.
Preset:
The MPC2000XL uses 18 preset algorithms to carry out the timestretch process, so you
should select a preset that nearest resembles your sample’s content. If the results are not
so good, try experimenting with different presets.
Each preset is further divided into A, B or C:
A = Standard quality timestretch with fast processing
B = Better quality timestretch with slower processing
C = Highest quality timestretch with slower processing
Timestretch Presets:
1. FEM VOX
10. STACCATO
2. MALE VOX 11. LFREQ SLOW
3. LOW MALE VOX 12. MUSIC 1
4. VOCAL 13. MUSIC 2
5. HFREQ RHYTHM 14. MUSIC 3
6. MFREQ RHYTHM 15. SOFT PERC.
7. LFREQ RHYTHM 16. HFREQ ORCH.
8. PERCUSSION 17. LFREQ ORCH.

◆ TIME STRETCH
Time stretch uses preset algorithms to lengthen or shorten a sample. This is useful when you want
to match one sample to another (even though they have different tempos), to fit a sample into a
specific period of time or into a track.
