Oldskool Vocal Time Streching

Just figured something out but I need to automate a parameter to do it

Basically I have a vocal over a 4 bar loop not cut up just a straight one shot vocal

I record using note repeat either 1/32 or 1/64. Obviously a really annoying stuttered vocal is heard but if I go into sample edit and move the sample start it gives the old style time stretch effect. The annoying thing is thats as far as I can go . Because I can't find anywhere where I can record automation for the sample start.. If I could do this I could Create time stretch effect as long or short as I like (would be easier with a line tool)

AKAI!! Please add this little feature I'm sure a lot of people would find it handy

Anyone else agree ? it can't be hard to add sample start on a Qlink automation and would solve the old Skool time stretch issue that people would like

Or is it only me who find this useful

That's something we used to do with Jungle & Hardcore records back in the day. If there's a way to make this happen on the MPC Ren anytime soon I would be a very happy man

Btw, you can record the sound into a DAW or another recording device if you want to, infact that would be very reminiscent of the old skool methods we used to employ. Not perfect but a solution nonetheless.....infact that's what I'm off to try now

Akaizer is perfect for getting the old Akai timestretch sound. It's standalone and can't be automated though.
