What is “chipmunk” mode?
Chipmunk mode demonstrates the simplest, and least satisfactory, way to change playback speed. In the old days, you could change the “playback” speed of a record by putting your finger on the phonograph platter and making it go around faster or slower. More recently, you could achieve the same effect by putting your finger on the supply real of a tape recorder and forcing it to move faster or slower. In either case, the most dramatic effect was a change in the pitch of the audio signal. When you sped up you got a “chipmunk” effect, and when you slowed down everyone sounded like Darth Vader. Chipmunk mode on the 2xAV Plug-In exactly duplicates that effect. It’s a lot of fun to play around with, but you wouldn’t want to get your market or weather reports from chipmunks on a steady basis!
