Change Pitch, Keep Tempo

Post by Aaron Guidry »

Hello!

Using MF3, how do I change the tempo of a sample, but keep the sample's original tempo?

For example, I have a short 2-beat rhythmic sample that I'd like to pitch up +3. Doing so with the OCS's Pitch Knob changes the pitch +3 perfectly, but it also speeds up the sample. I'd like the tempo of the sample to stay intact.

Thanks!

You can switch the oscilator to stretch mode or ircam stretch mode i think. I see that in video, i do not own M5 currently.

Yes. IRCAM. Be sure to click the stereo button and play with setting. There should be a YouTube on the MOTU channel.
