Pitch control lets you move a track’s key independently of its tempo. It is how StemFM keeps blends sounding musical — and it gives you control over the key yourself.

What you can do

  • Preserve the key so it stays put even as you change speed.
  • Match the key of the two tracks in a blend so they sit together harmonically.
  • Shift the key up or down to taste.
