Time Stretching in the STS5000 is a relatively simple process, simply follow these steps:
  • Load a sample (e.g. drum loop) and select a keygroup from the keygrouplist.
  • From the keygroup dialog select the 'Zones' tab.
  • Change the 'Pitch Mode' of each sample to 'PitchShift' (as shown to the right).
  • Select the 'TimeStretch' tab.
  • Select 'Modwheel' as one of the 'Time Stretching Modulation' dropdowns.
  • Apply a value of 50 to the ModWheel, as shown below.

The drum loop will now change tempo (without changing pitch) when you trigger the loop with a MIDI keyboard and move the modulation wheel.  Check out the SoundCloud example at the bottom of this page
