EDIT SAMPLE
Pressing TIMESTRETCH shows this display:
The parameters are:
STRETCH AMOUNT This sets the timestretch factor. the range is 50% (twice the speed) to
200% (half the speed) with 100% being ‘no stretch’. Like any timestretch
process, extreme settings may introduce unwanted artefacts but a range
of +/-10% (i.e. 90%-110%) will yield excellent results most of the time.
PRESET Instead of a complex array of incomprehensible parameters, the S6000’s
timestretch algorithm uses a series of 18 presets optimised for certain
types of sounds as described by their name. So, instead of sitting there
setting the parameters aimlessly for half a dozen or more meaningless,
confusing controls, the idea is that you simply select a preset, the
description of which largely fits the material you are trying to process
and you press STRETCH SAMPLE. If the results are not that good,
simply select another preset and try again.
Timestretch Presets:
1. FEM VOX 10. STACCATO
2. MALE VOX 11. LFREQ SLOW
3. LOW MALE VOX 12. MUSIC 1
4. VOCAL 13. MUSIC 2
5. HFREQ RHYTHM 14. MUSIC 3
6. MFREQ RHYTHM 15. SOFT PERC.
7. LFREQ RHYTHM 16. HFREQ ORCH.
8. PERCUSSION 17. LFREQ ORCH.
9. LFREQ PERC. 18. SLOW ORCH.
However, the presets are merely guidelines and the LOW FREQ ORCH
B preset may do a fantastic job on an ambient loop! Experimentation is
the order of the day!
Each preset also has three variations (giving a total of 54 presets). These
are:
A Standard quality timestretch with fast processing.
B Better quality timestretch but slower processing.
C The highest quality timestretch results but slower
processing.
