Time Stretching
• Click the On button to activate or deactivate time stretching.
When this button is activated, you can play back a sample at a different pitch than the
root key without changing its tempo and length.
In Music mode, transposition is limited to the range between -24 and +24 semitones
around the root key of the sample. When you play notes outside this limit, the highest,
or lowest, note is used, respectively. The same applies for pitch modulation. Settings
outside the -24 to +24 semitones limit lead to clipping in the modulation.
Sync Mode
The Sync modes are used to match the playback speed of the sample to the tempo of
the host application. The following options are available on the pop-up menu:

Description
Deactivates the AudioWarp section.
Offers parameters for time stretching and formant shifting. This mode is
suitable for solo instruments and vocals. It is highly efficient and
supports polyphonic playback.
Offers parameters for time stretching. This mode is suitable for complex
material like drum loops and samples with mixed music. It uses
considerably more CPU time than Solo mode. Therefore, it is
recommended for monophonic playback. Note that the more the
sample is stretched, the higher the CPU load.
Music mode can only be used with mono and stereo samples. If you
process multi-channel samples, only the left and right channels are
stretched. The remaining channels are turned off.
Description
The playback speed is specified manually, in percent.
