VariSpeed

VariSpeed control

This control works just like a tape recorder's speed control: if speed increases pitch will go up, if speed decreases pitch will go down. If you want to record an instrument and its pitch is different from your song's pitch you can use the VariSpeed control to change the song's pitch. After recording the track you can set the VariSpeed control to zero and the recorded track's pitch will be equal to the song's pitch. The pitch shift is shown in cents. It can be 200 cents (2 semitones) up or down.
MIDI tracks are affected as well. Tracks using an External MIDI Instrument are detuned using Pitch Bend messages (the pitch bend range is assumed to be 2 semitones).

The VariSpeed control is hidden by default, is can be made visible using the down arrow on the right-hand side of position indicator. VariSpeed can't be changed while the transport is running.

Note that VariSpeed consumes CPU power, so it should be set to zero when it's not needed.

Half-speed recording

VariSpeed can not only be set to -200...+200 cents, but to -1400...-1000 cents as well. At -1200 cents the transport runs at half speed. Audio tracks and software instruments sound one octave lower at half speed, External MIDI Instruments don't.
