Time Stretching

time stretch - makes samples sync to your project tempo automatically

why use this:

  • loops play in time regardless of tempo changes
  • match samples from different sources
  • speed up or slow down without pitch change

access time stretch:

  1. [shift] + [sound] → navigate to TIM page with [-/+]
  2. x-knob: selects mode (OFF, BPM, or BAR)
  3. y-knob: sets the value

bar mode (BAR) - easier method:

  • set how many bars the sample should last
  • sample stretches to fit exactly 1, 2, 3, or 4 bars
  • ko ii does the math for you

bpm mode (BPM) - when you know the source tempo:

  • set the original BPM of the sample
  • ko ii stretches it to match your project tempo
  • need to know or guess the source BPM

example:

  1. sample a 2-bar drum loop
  2. TIM page → x-knob to BAR, y-knob to 2
  3. now that sample plays exactly 2 bars at any tempo
