Timestretch patcher
This tool enables wave files used in Samplitude 11.5 Producer and other
MAGIX programs (e.g. MAGIX Music Maker) to be patched.
Additional information and settings are written into the wave project to make
them easier to find, thus ensuring better timestretching and pitchshifting
results.
The following can be patched:
 Algorithms for timestretching/ pitchshifting
 BPMs
 Beat markers
Overview
Algorithms for timestretching / pitchshifting
Different algorithms (be
sides the standard algorithm) can be used for real-time
timestretching and/or pitchshifting for better results. Check
resampling/timestretching/pitchshifting for more details. With the patcher you
can store the optimal timestretching algorithm in the wave project. This
ensures that the "correct" algorithm is used automatically when
timestretching/pitchshifting is used on these projects as object effects (e.g.
with the timestretch mouse mode).
Beat markers
Beat markers are also saved in the wave project when using beat
marker-based algorithms.
In contrast to the timestretching dialog, the patcher is non-modal, meaning
that if the patcher is open, you can move beat markers in a wave project while
checking out the timestretching result.
BPM value
Patches the BPM value (beats per minute). This is useful for when the
timestretching factor must be determined later in order to adapt the wave
project to the tempo of an existing arrangement.
Patches in brief
Patches only work if you have opened the wave project in destructive wave
editing mode and if it is not open in a VIP simultaneously.
