Sound-Edit:Tune +300 and Transpose -3

[siebenhirter]

Hello,
is there a plausible answer to the question of why some factory sounds are edited with Tune +300 and Transpose -3 at the same time?

What advantages does this have for the sound?

With these settings the oscillator uses a sample that is transposed down by three semitones and tuned up again with 300 cents - corresponding to three equal semitones.

Example Pa1000:
Sample 423 Viola GM, Tune + 300, Transpose -3 Fiddle XG / Fiddle GM
Sample 426 Violin&Cello, Tune + 300, Transpose -3 Fiddle

PS: I found the answer myself in the meantime --> during the time that the OS needs to lower and raise the pitch again, a strange modulation (flanger) occurs. You can try this with maximum values of + 1200, transpose -12 or with - 1200, transpose +12, which results clearly audible in two different effects in the attack phase.
