PERFORMING A TIMESTRETCH
Set the parameters as described above - if you are stretching complex samples such as
breakbeats, backing tracks, drumloops, voice over, backing vocals, etc., use the INTELL mode
of operation. For stretching individual instrumental samples, maybe CYCLIC will be o.k..
First set the zone you want to stretch in the stretch and fields. If you want
to stretch the whole sample (which is the usual application), this field will be set as soon as you
select the sample.
If you are using CYCLIC mode, then set a cycle length (or use the key). If you are using
the INTELL mode, set the and as you think necessary (remembering that high
values will take more time). Now set the parameter, name the new sample
and press .
If you haven’t created a new sample, you will receive this prompt:
In this case, please name a new sample in the usual way or select a sample you know you have
no further use for as the destination sample.
Whilst the timestretch is processing, you will receive the following display:
Depending on the mode you selected and the settings of the parameters, you may have to
wait a while (several minutes in the case of long INTELL stretches). You can abort the
procedure by pressing F8 a few times. You will see the display counts down in percentage the
time remaining for the process.
When the processing is finished, you can play back the original from the ENT/PLAY key or the
stretched version from the key. If you are happy with the sound of the stretched sample,
you can proceed to edit, trim and loop it, just as if it was a freshly-recorded sample.
