Find the video walkthrough here: https://youtu.be/Zna7-gyb-mo Thank you aeiter for the advice! going up from -1 octave at 50% : 53, 56, 59.5, 63, 67, 71, 75, 79, 84, 94.5, 100 (back to standard pitch)

you can also use the machiniste

what benefit does it provide to using the machiniste? the machine is more flexible than the bock and more precise

that's what we meant, glad you caught on

ah wait i just realised the good use case would be for simple melodies. i tried it with an arpeggio, didn't sound quite right

from what i've tested the bloc also stretches out the samples, except it would skip what it couldn't play in time. i guess doing it like that would be useful in some cases but you can still pitch down stuff using machiniste without it skipping anything. stil not really sure why you would do it this way

With the machiniste you'd have an entire sample get stretched out. Simple melodies only need to have the grid on the rasselbock match each note, where as on the machiniste you'd have to figure out each note position by punching in the percentage beginning and end as well as loading the sample in multiple slots. I've done the machiniste approach on this track fearless rot It's great for single note samples, but not for anything more rhythmically complex.

the only benefit is feeling proud of yourself

and if you were doing drums or one shots, use the machiniste

if you want the pitch changed on an entire loop, you can change it on the timeline with the bock, instead of using the machinste

i think you are schizophrenic

and if you want the pitch changed... use the rasselbock instead of pitch delay

You can take a looped sample, and chop it up

what does that even mean

resampling/chopping a loop

Me who just uses the rasselbock for stop, stutter and gate effects :
