1. Stretch Control

The stretch control can be used to time stretch the audio. This is not automatable.

The left arrow and right arrow will change the stretch factor by 1.

Double clicking the slider will revert it to it's initial position.

2. Pitch Control

The pitch control can be used to change the pitch/key of the audio. This is not automatable.

The left arrow and right arrow will change the pitch by 1 semitone.

Double clicking the slider will revert it to it's initial position.

💡 TIP: In the case where the pitch is imperfect, use the key control to quickly bring it in-key.

3. Seek Control

You can seek to a particular point in the audio. If the audio is currently paused, clicking here will cause it to play again.

4. Active Buttons

  • Pause / Play: Changes the playback. On Import, audio will auto play.
  • Reverb: Pressing once will activate a serial reverb. Pressing again will activate a parallel reverb with a low cut of 100 Hz, and a high cut of 6000 Hz.
  • Import: Allows you to select a file to import. Formats: wav, mp3, ogg, aiff, flac.
  • Export: Export the audio to a particular format. If MP3 is missing, you must re-install the plugin and checkmark LAME encoder.

💡 TIP: If the sample rate of the imported audio does not match that of the DAW's session, a temporary resample will occur. See HD Resample on Import in settings to turn on HD resample.

5. Key Controls

Set the key of the song so that you know the resulting key after the slowdown has been applied.

By clicking 'Resulting Key', you will correct the pitch so that it is in-key.

6. Tempo Controls

Given an initial tempo setting, it will display the resulting tempo after a speed change.

The wrench icon will open the tempo dialog. Here you can specify what the tempo of the imported audio is.

  • HD Resample on Import: Only has affect if the imported audio's sample rate does not match that of the DAW's current session. If HD is on, it will use a slower but higher quality resample algorithm for the audio preview. This has NO EFFECT on the exported audio quality, as the effects will be applied to the original un-resampled audio before being exported to a file format.
  • Scale Plugin Dimensions: For scaling the plugin size up or down.
