Parameter Description
AUTO DTCT (Auto De-
tection, Beat mode only)
If enabled, MASCHINE automatically detects the tempo of the original audio.
SRC BPM (Source BPM,
Beat mode only)
Allows to define the tempo of the original audio (in BPM). This tempo is defined in
different ways according to the AUTO DTCT value:
If AUTO DTCT is enabled, you can set the length (in bars) of the original audio.
You can choose between 1/2, 1, and 2 bars. The number between brackets indi-
cates the resulting tempo (in BPM) derived from the number of bars you have set
and the computed tempo value.
If AUTO DTCT is disabled, you can directly define the tempo of the original audio
(in BPM).
NEW BPM
(Beat Mode only)
Defines the target tempo of the time-shifted audio (in BPM).
LENGTH (Stretch
Length, Beat mode with
Auto Detection enabled
only)
If AUTO DTCT is enabled, you can define the length of the target audio (in bars).
Please note that any change to the SRC BPM value (see above) will be automati-
cally mirrored by this LENGTH value. Once you have set the number of bars in the
source audio, you can set here another number of bars, thereby dividing or multi-
plying the tempo of the target audio. Available values are 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1,
2, 4, and 8 bars, as well as the corresponding triplet values.
SPEED
(Free mode only)
Adjusts the new tempo relative to the original tempo (in percentage). The mini-
mum value is 10 %.
In Beat mode, if you set a target tempo that is smaller than a tenth of the original tempo,
the Apply button will be disabled. Set a higher target tempo to enable the Apply button
again!
►
Once you have set the parameters to the desired values, click Apply to apply the pitch
shifting and/or time stretching to the selected region in the Sample, or Cancel to let the
Sample untouched.
14.3.2.1 Audio Editing Functions on Your Controller
The EDIT page additionally provides several audio editing functions to process your Sample.
