Hello,
today I was making some dubstep and during the ganja smoking and tracking I felt like changing (read: doubling) the tempo midway in the track. So I started out with 140 bpm, speed 6 and changed this to 140 bpm, speed 3. Unfortunately expanding the pattern doesn’t automatically double the sync settings in the sample properties 'causing the donald duck effect on a lot of samples I synced.
Would be nice to have an option to expand the pattern + have the synced values in the sample properties change accordingly / so everything sounds the same as before. Would save a lot of sherlock holmes work searching through all the samples that changed gender in pitch.
Actually sometimes the donald duck effect does have some charm because the pitch change gives a dramatic change in timbre/feel/mood whatever. So if this could be implemented in a musical way even better. For example with a new feature/ option to automatically affect all the synced values in a track with a certain factor/ratio by moving a slider / twisting a knob blah.
Could all of this also be done by an external xml mangling script tool? (hint to the smart guys here )
