E. The Tempo/Pitch Screen

1. Tempo

The tempo is the speed at which music is played.
Since songs can contain multiple tempos, tempo is adjusted by percentage. Tap the arrows to change the percentage, 0 being the original tempo of the song. The maximum is +100% and the minimum is -50%.

The effective tempo is displayed on the top right. If the tempo is not specified before the first note in the song (or loop) the default of 120 is used.

2. Pitch

The pitch has nothing to do with baseball, so strike that thought from your mind.

Pitch is how high or low an instrument sounds.
Pitch is adjusted by half steps. Use the arrows to adjust the pitch. The maximum is +24, and the minimum is -24.
If you would like to change the pitch of some channels and not others, tap on the channels you do not want to be affected by the changes. Channels highlighted in white are not affected. Channel 10, which is usually drums, is not affected by default.

The recommended pitch shift to simulate a helium-filled room is 19.
