Time Stretching / Pitch Shifting
When you select STRETCH in the Audio Toolbar, the bottom of the Edit page switches to the
following set of controls:
The stretch controls at the bottom of the Edit page.
These controls allow you to adjust the parameters of the time stretching / pitch shifting func-
tion before applying it to the selected region. Pitch shifting and time stretching can be applied
independently.
The following parameters are available:
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-shif-
ted audio to retain the timbre (or “color”) of the original audio as much as possi-
ble. 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 De-
tection, Beat mode only)
If enabled, MASCHINE automatically detects the tempo of the original audio.
