Yes. I’m from the old school, timestretch always was stretching samples to fit tempos, had no idea pitch shift is a form of timestretch. I usually use pitch shift for live vocals as kind of a voice transformer, thats why I can’t see it as timestretch. Anyway, I’m confusing myself back to the lab, back to the music 
I’d say pitch and pitch shift (no speed change).

imo just “rate change” or “variable playback speed” is fine. just think of what happens to a vinyl when you play faster/slower.

Pitch transposition is the basic form achieved by sample rate conversion.
Pitch Shifting changes the pitch without changing length. This requires a combination of time stretching/compression followed by pitch transposition.

The problem for me with “rate change” is that rate means female rat or spleen (anatomic) in french.
I don’t want to change my spleen.

I thought my question could lead to some clarity on how to refer to these processes but I realize it will just create a DT thread offshoot spiral that we probably don’t need because we all know what were referring to anyway!
Judging by 4 consecutive different answers I don’t think there is a specific “correct” terminology…
People pay good money to change their spleen in America.
At least twice as much as other countries!

Would I exchange it for a DT ?

The sample rate polarity beneath the gated phaser threshold does very little to mitigate the chromatic pitch shifting p-lock configuration in mono. So you can count me out.
It’s 8 tracks mono. Can’t play poly unfortunately.

tis time to pre-order this weekend, hurray for DT 
one of the few things that is not clear to me:
Can the digitakt pan its monosamples in the stereo field, and can the Panorama be p-locked as in the stereo boxes ?
also:
As far i understand would the digitakt convert stereo samples to mono when loading them,
but if loading stereo samples, lets say from a USB stick or computer, and you save the samples in the Digitakts Ram, are these samples saved as mono samples or still stereo ?
( my Nickname comes btw. from the first days of the octatrack when the manual was virtually useless )
I’m under the impression it will be just like the RYTM in that regard. So we should be able to pan and p-lock/LFO the panning. I think it will handle loading the same as RYTM too, converting any samples, whether mono or not, to mono/48k/normalized.

heya,
looking to the pictures of the Digitakt on the elektron page it looks like the digitakt has no mounting holes for sidepanels/stands ?
if so, Elektron, then please consider to add mounting holes to the housing of the digitakt ! please.
reason: cause it would make it MUCH more simpel to mount the digitakt to some sidepanels,
for example to have it stand angled, and also lifted up a bit to place it behind your other gear above the cables, for example a synth.
look at the Novation peak to see what i mean
…or imagine poeple who have 2 Elektrons on those famous angled stands and would want to place a digitakt beside those, …on a similar stand
ha, you would have to add those holes also to the Heat, haha.
personally, my plan is to make a small case with the digitakt and one row of euro modules behind it. digitakt width.
it would be ALOTS more simpel to tinker something together with the mounting holes given ala ocatrack etc.

I think it will have VESA holes on the bottom like the Heat. May be wrong though…

ahh, i see.
makes sense to think that this will be the case.
tough sidepanel ( rackear) mounting holes would make still alots of sense.
one could use the same sidepanels as for other elektron boxes if there would be such holes
they probably thought that the kinda halfsize width is disqualiying the small boxes for such premium stands, haha
I would prefer side holes as well… I love my side mounted RYTM “cheeks”!
