Can this time stretch imported loops to the set bpm when importing your own wavs?
Found this.... Kinda helps a bit
"ScratchPad reads acidized .wav files and adjusts them to the project tempo. It currenly does not read tempos from imported loops. Longer loops may not import due to a 30sec limit on supported loop length. These loops would need to be shotened inorder to use them with ScratchPad.
Thanks for the question, I hope this answer helps.

Thanks @skoptic!
Ok so any drumloops would have to be run through some program that "acidizes" for ScratchPad to be able to adjust to bpm. I got folders upon folders with loops, both sampled, things made by me, sample CDs etc. So unless there's some batch acidize utility, that's not a working option. Cakewalk, do consider some time stretching for properly looped stuff, in a future update. Would be nice to have a have a lightweight util like this or Loopy where you just can slap some drumloops into, have it adjust to tempo (like sector would be ideal, both tied to pitch and sliced up not being tied to pitch), and have it all run through things like Turnado, Effectrix etc.
I'm buying this just to encourage Cakewalk to put Z3TA+ on sale. =p
I think good little step.
What's New in Version 1.2
• AudioCopy & AudioPaste
• iTunes file sharing
• Language support for French, German, and Japanese
• Various bug fixes
The reviews I've seen were scathing. I can't bring myself to pull the trigger. If it's anything but a novelty, give us an update
I'm getting crashes all the time when using the stutter effect. And the time stretch introduces a lot of crackles/pops on more melodic content. ACP is great that they added. But this seriously needs another overhaul and an update to be useful.
It is pretty neat if you have loads of properly looped drumloops that you wanna change the tempo on fast, it does a pretty good job on the time stretch for drums. And it supports ACP 2.0 so you can copy/paste loads of loops into the app at once.
But using it as it is intended to be used is basically impossible right now.
Good to know... Was thinking to get it. Enough apps to stick with
Thanks for the info on its performance.
@Peanutrcram have you tried Figure by Propellerhead?
Oh yes! Love it. I miss start/stop MIDI trigger on that one
I'm finding more and more bugs the more I use it. Can't launch the app from within Audiobus if Audiobus is set to 256 frames or lower.
Using the universal dragging right on a file to show the file option icons (delete, ACP, Dropbox) works, but you can't drag it back or anything to hide the icons if you changed your mind or dragged the wrong file, so the icons will stay on top of everything until you choose an option.
So that's two more bugs on top of the other ones. Note that all this is on iPad Air iOS 7.1.1. Older 32 bit devices might behave differently. Anyway, I'd definitely stay away from this one until it's gotten a proper overhaul.
On a side note, clock sync out would be nice, Cakewalk (so you can drive it through things like Effectrix etc).

True dat!
I've been having some email exchanging with the Product Manager at Cakewalk Inc. First, he contacted me via mail after I made the marketing guy on twitter aware of the issues, and seemed very eager to help and sort out any issues I had, which in my book is a sign of some pretty great customer support. And maybe more importantly that Cakewalk Inc is now yet another big player that's really committed to making good things on iOS.
Anyway, so he's been able to reproduce the issues I've mentioned. The development team got the info. And, at least most, things will be fixed in the first upcoming update.
So with all that in mind, I would say go ahead and get it (if it's your thing), without feeling bad about it.
Me personally see it as a pretty unique app on the AppStore in that you can batch copy/paste loops into the app and do some really decent real-time time stretching on the file to whatever bpm you needed to have those drum loops at in your other iDAW, and then get em out of the app just as easily as you got em in. I don't know of any other app that does that really (well, Auria, but that's a bit different and not in real-time and hence not as fast at quickly adjusting the BPM on a whole bunch of loops at once). That ability alone makes it a pretty good deal, for me at least, at only 2 bucks.
@ChrisG - Thanks.. that's really helpful info. Can I just check something (cause I have a bunch of loops which aren't acid wavs)
Is the workflow? ..
Set bpm on app to, say, 140. Import a bunch of wav loops that you know to be 140bpm (if they aren't acid wavs). Once you've done that you can edit the bpm in the app and it'll timestretch all the samples to new bpm? Thanks!
I've tried it with loops I've made in various app, exported to Audioshare for any further editing. And just copy pasted them into ScratchPad. So they don't have to be acidized or in some special format. As long as they are edited and loops properly, there shouldn't be any problems.

Loopy supports time stretching of samples for both aufdiocopy and paste.

Yep you're right. Not quite the same fast workflow for that particular task, but it definitely does real-time time stretching. Cool!
