622 TOOLS MENU

Detailed information about this is available in "Offline effects ->

Resampling/Timestretching/Pitchshifting (view page 499)". Use the patcher to save the

most suitable timestretch algorithm for your needs in the wave project so that the chosen

algorithm is used automatically on your wave projects when using

timestretching/pitchshifting.

Beat markers

With beat markers the audio material is synchronized in such a way that the groove

remains perfectly intact. When using the beat marker-based algorithms, the beat markers

are also saved in the wave project.

Hint: Unlike in the timestretching dialog in the "Effects" menu, the patcher is non-modal,

meaning that you can move the beat markers in the wave project and simultaneously

control the result of the timestretching.

BPM value

The desired BPM value (beats per minute) can be patched here. This is useful for when the

timestretching factor must be determined later in order to adjust the wave project to the

tempo of an existing arrangement. Should the "New BPM" field in the dialog be grayed out,

you can change the value using the "Time factor" controller.

Timestretch/Pitchshift Patcher – Patching

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.

Choose the algorithm you wish to use in the dialog. You can also specify the tempo of the

wave file using the "Time factor" controller.

You can now test the chosen algorithm in conjunction with the "Play/Stop" and "Play

original" buttons. By clicking on the "Patch" button, Samplitude writes the information

permanently to the wave file.
