Unless you manually chop up the wave (ala Motif) or use one of the
magic pre-chopped factory samples, realtime timestretching also affects
pitch though, right?

There was that one factory vocal (something like "You're all I'm
dreaming of") that was in a rhythm voice that automatically tracked the
tempo, but the looped sections were about a 16th note long.  For most
tempo stretches, it sounded pretty good.  However, when I tried to do
the same to a non-factory voice, the pitch changed when I timestretched
(using the BPM slider, with Pitch de-selected).

Not that I'm knocking the 909, it was just somewhat anti-climatic when
I thought that it was going to have the full variphrase thing like the
VP-9000 (or the new VariOS).  It's also entirely possible that we (the
Roland guy and I) couldn't figure out how to do it...I felt bad taking
up 20 minutes as it was.
