If you select STRETCH
A Preset field
Selects how time stretch will be performed. The following eighteen presets are provided
so that you can obtain optimal results for different types of sample.
Each preset also provides variations A, B, and C. If you select A, processing will be performed
with normal audio quality. If you select C, processing will require more time, but the audio
quality will be higher. B is mid-way between A and C in processing time and audio quality.
B Adjust field
Makes fine adjustments to the tonal quality. Adjusting this in the positive direction will
give priority to the tonal quality of the high-frequency range, and adjusting this in the
negative direction will give priority to the tonal quality of the low-frequency region.
C [F1] key (CANCEL)
Cancels the time stretch command and closes the popup window.
D [F6] key (DO IT)
