All of these effects have a strict 1:1 ratio between

the 'length' of the signal, but that is a different story altogether.
Sorry, I'm tired: the resampling does not follow the 1:1 rule at all.
This is because when you mess with how fast your record is playing, you
are in a sense messing with "time" on the disc.
To put this in another way: you are taking X seconds of sound and
playing it back in Y seconds where X != Y.
This means that you can't do an effect like "real" scratching in
realtime without the plugin asserting some sort of
transport/playhead/speed control on the underlying media player.
.. Now, the rubberband pitch shifter IS 1:1. Unlike all the DJ stuff I
mentioned..
