This option calculates the pitch shift needed to stretch or shrink the assigned sound to a specific
length or BPM, and sets the transpose setting for the track. Pitch Stretch is in the actions section
of the Track Settings menu.
The Pitch Stretch screen has the following fields:
File
The file name of the original file being stretched.
Beat Count
Fill in the number of beats (quarter notes) in the original sample. The S2400 guesses the Beat
Count based on the sample length, assuming 4/4 time. Changing or correcting this number will
change the From BPM field.
From BPM
When stretching beats, fill in the tempo of the original sample. The S2400 will fill in the From
BPM based on the sample length and Beat Count, but it can be changed.
To BPM
Fill in the tempo of the resulting stretched sample. This field defaults to the current pattern
tempo.
From Time
The From Time is automatically filled in with the length of the original sample, and cannot be
changed. It is expressed in seconds.
To Time
The To Time is the length of the stretched sample. This field is used when stretching a sample to
a specific length, not a specific BPM. It is recalculated when the From BPM, To BPM, or Stretch
Percent are changed, and those fields are recalculated when the To Time is changed.
Pitch Change
The pitch change is transposition amount, in semitones and cents, needed to stretch the sample
to the above BPM and time.
Transpose Track
Sets the transpose setting of the track to the above pitch change.
