CHAPTER 9. TEMPO CONTROL AND WARPING 126
The Grain Size control determines the grain size used, but unlike in Tones Mode, this is a
setting that Live will use unaltered, without considering the signal's characteristics.
Fluctuation introduces randomness into the process. Larger values give more randomness.
9.3.4 Re-Pitch Mode
In Re-Pitch Mode, Live doesn't really time-stretch or compress the music; instead, it adjusts
the playback rate to create the desired amount of stretching. In other words, to speed
up playback by a factor of 2, it's transposed up an octave. This is like the DJ stretching
method of using variable-speed turntables to sync two records, or what happens to samples
in samplers when they're transposed.
The Transpose and Detune controls have no effect in Re-Pitch Mode.
