Any Akai sampler gives you the option of 'Intelligent' or 'Cyclic'
timestretching.
Cyclic's the classic technique, it works like early granular synthesis,
here's a visual demo:
MC yells' "Dub Plate Preshaaaah"
when you stretch it cyclically, it comes out:
"DuDubub b PlPlalatatete e P PrPrereseshshahaaaaaaaaaaahah"
you set the length of your grain (cycle, this case three letters) and the %
of new time (20% to 1600%, memory depending, in this case 300%).
Intelligent timestretching is more like the software algorithm you get
w/Sound Forge & SoundEdit 16 (awesome...), it sort of second guesses louder
bits (pitch/character) and just does pure-wave-period stretching on quieter
bits.
I may be speculating a bit randomly on all of this.
Timestretching is one of those magical things which in theory, shouldn't be
possible.
I hope I never REALLY figure it out, 'twould be no fun.... -Våt
