'pitch stretch' in 'tone adjust'.

Post by icarusi »

Never really understood what this did, until yesterday.

I was trying to slow the 'LFO' on a Montage string patch, but found it was vibrato fixed within the samples. I got a workaround by setting a -5 on the pichbend, applying it, then transposing back to pitch, which effectively clocked out the samples at a lower speed and also lowered the sample vibrato speed.

The 'pitch stretch' seems to work similarly and can lower the vibrato speed of the Krome sample sounds, which have the vibrato within the waveform. It's more convenient than my Montage workaround, in that it also auto-tranposes to the correct keyboard key pitch, to compensate for the pitch change which would be present by clocking out the waveform slower, or faster than at the original rate.

It also can save that 'pitch stretch' setting in a 'prog', and an extra +/- octave can be added, but not saved.
