Native Instruments MASCHINE+ Standalone Production and Performance Instrument - Manual (Page 197)

Parameter Description
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.
SRC BPM (Source
BPM, Beat mode
only)
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).
NEW BPM
(Beat Mode only)
Defines the target tempo of the time-shifted audio (in BPM).
LENGTH (Stretch
Length, Beat mode
with Auto Detection
enabled only)
If AUTO DTCT is enabled, you can define the length of the target audio
(in bars). Please note that any change to the SRC BPM value (see
above) will be automatically mirrored by this LENGTH value. Once you
have set the number of bars in the source audio, you can set here
another number of bars, thereby dividing or multiplying the tempo of
the target audio. Available values are 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, and 8
bars, as well as the corresponding triplet values.
SPEED
(Free mode only)
Adjusts the new tempo relative to the original tempo (in percentage).
The minimum value is 10 %.
In Beat mode, if you set a target tempo ( NEW BPM ) that is smaller than a tenth of the
original tempo ( SRC BPM ), Button 8 ( APPLY ) will be grayed out and disabled. Set a higher
target tempo to enable the button again.
