AudioWarp Section

In the AudioWarp section, you can apply time stretching and formant shifting to your samples.

  • To activate the AudioWarp settings, click Activate/Deactivate AudioWarp.

AudioWarp Mode

  • Solo mode offers parameters for time stretching and formant shifting.

    This mode is suitable for loops and samples of solo instruments or vocals.

  • Music mode offers parameters for time stretching.

    This mode is suitable for complex material like drum loops and samples of mixed music. It uses considerably more CPU time than Solo mode.

    Note

    The more the sample is stretched, the higher the CPU load.

AudioWarp Sync Mode

Allows you to match the playback speed of the sample to the project tempo.

  • If Off is selected, the playback speed is specified manually, in percent.

  • If Tempo is selected, the playback speed is calculated using the ratio between the original tempo of the sample and the tempo of the host.

Legato

If this option is deactivated, each note that is played via MIDI starts playback from the Sampler Control position cursor.

If this option is activated, the first note starts playback from the position cursor, and any following notes start from the current playback position for as long as the first note is held.

Speed

If AudioWarp Sync Mode is set to Off, you can adjust the playback speed of the sample.

In Music mode, the minimum playback speed adjustment is 12.5 %. Values below this limit have no effect.

Original BPM

If AudioWarp Sync Mode is set to Tempo, you can enter the original tempo of the sample in beats per minute. The playback speed of the sample is adjusted to match the tempo of the host application.

Note

This parameter is only available in Solo and in Music mode. In Music mode, the lower limit of the playback speed adjustment is 12.5 %. Values below this limit have no further effect.

Formant

Allows you to adjust formant shifting. Formant shifting allows you to avoid so-called Mickey Mouse effects when pitch-shifting a sample. This is especially useful with samples of human voices or acoustic instruments.

This parameter is only available in Solo mode.
