Load Pattern dialog

Formant Scaling (disabled unless Stretch Audio is checked)

This is a SONAR Producer feature only. Possible values range from -2.000 to 2.000 octaves.

Formants give a voice its characteristic sound. If you find that changing the length of your audio

changes the timbre too much, you can raise or lower the formant to try and maintain the

characteristics of the sound.
