Pitch shift BUG (max 11 semitones with mpex)

[cbm1]

As you can see above the transpose maxes out at 11 semitones with mpex.
This has always been 16 semitones.
I regularly use this algorithm and i cannot pitch to an octave.

When can we get a fix for this? It has been broken for roughly 2 years now.

It’s not broken; it’s because you’re applying time stretch simultaneously.

From the manual:

it’s because you’re applying time stretch simultaneously.

If one disables time correction then no algorithm needs to be used. Then it’s just resampling.

Do you remember which version of Cubase offered a bigger range for this algorithm? I have a two year old Cubase and it is the same +/-11 as on your screenshot. With which version was it different?

Hey Johnny, where’s your humor?
My answer is the ss from the manual with the limitations
cheers

*edit: I opened 12 now and I can confirm 11 semitones as op.

In Cubase 11 it was possible to pitch shift by 16 semitones using the MPEX algorithm. As of Cubase 12, Steinberg has reduced the maximum interval for some reason. Here’s an old thread about this topic:

Cubase 12 Pitch shift issue

Hi all, anyone facing issues with the pitch shift process? I am unable to transpose a whole octave (audio track) but was perfectly able to do the same thing in Cubase 11.
