Slices can be pitch shifted and time stretched in real-time, with a sound that is reminiscent of early samplers by AKAI, such as the S950 and S1000.
Amongst other things, this sound was popularized by using ultra-stretched, metallic sounding vocals and drum sounds found in many 90s Jungle , Drum and Bass, House, Garage and other EDM tracks. The Woovebox' algorithm deliberately leans into this use of pitch shifting and time stretching for creative uses.
In contrast to aforementioned hardware samplers from the 80s and 90s, and in line with its "doing more with less" goal, your Woovebox performs the warping in real-time, allowing for even more creative effects and - crucially - without "baking" those effects into the source samples. For example, you can dynamically change speed and pitch by means of an LFO (including conditional thereof), allowing the same samples (or parts thereof) to sound differently without the obvious "chip munk" effect or affecting playback speed. This can include otherworldy Window Licker-esque growls, inflections or intonations on vocals, or per-step triggerable metallic / flanger-esque effects of just a few drumloop slices.
