With this function you can change the length of the selected sample segment without affecting
the pitch. This function applies sophisticated routines that lengthen or shorten the selected
sample segment to play it back over a different time period, modifying the playback rate so the
pitch remains unchanged.
The Start and End parameters define the segment to be processed. Use the New Length
(NewLen) parameter to specify how long you want the resulting sample to be. While the
function is in progress, the display will indicate the percentage of individual sample segments
that have been processed.
The Quick parameter lets you select one of three warping routines. Use Quick 0 to audition
your new sample. then use Quick 1 or 2 for your final take. Quick 2 takes more time to process,
but gives you a better final result.
This function is extremely useful for fine adjustments in the length of a sample. You can also
apply greater amounts of warp for a wide range of effects. Experimentation will give you an
idea of the amount of alteration you want to apply.

The PitchShift function is the counterpart of the TimeWarp function; it shifts the pitch of the
selected sample segment without changing the playback time—very useful for tuning samples
when the playback time is crucial. Use the Start and End parameters to define the segment to be
shifted. The Shift parameter determines the amount of pitch shifting, up to 30000 cents.
Like the crossfade parameter in the Delete function, this crossfade will also shorten the sample.
The maximum crossfade length is half the length of the reversed segment.
