I heard that the new version comes with "Pitch shift" and "Time stretch" primitives. Is this true? 😉

Time stretching has been part of SM for a long time... Load SM for a quick half hour session to fix that little bug in your schematic - when you finish, many hours of time have vanished into thin air, and it is nearly time to get up and go to work. If you listen very closely, you can sometime hear distinct changes in pitch too - kind of like a whooshy, whirring sound that seems to come from the cooling vents on your PC.
Some people believe that these mysterious effects are the result of resentful 'Dee-ess-pee Pixies' who cast their evil spells upon us as revenge for making them run around too fast - in Pixie mythology this known as 'avenging the 44100 hurts'. When they are particularly annoyed, they come out during the day (when we are sleeping off our late night programming sessions) and tie incredibly intricate knots is all the cables behind our desks (this is why we see so many knot motifs in ancient Celtic art - the druids spent much of their time learning the ways of the Fairies - Indeed, untying the dreaded 'Centronics cable caught around those annoying serial cable thumbscrew cable lock thingies' was one of their most severe initiation rites.) The Pxies in my studio are getting really badly behaved - every time I come back to my PC they have filled up the ashtray again, and taken all my cups upstairs and filled them will tepid coffee - all my hours of assembly optimising must have really been getting to them. 😉 😈 😉

I don't suppose you'd believe me if I said that the dog had eaten my 'homework'?
Ah, thought not... So I will post a picture of what has really been distracting me (No, not THAT kind of picture!) a little later ... ...which bizarrely enough, involves both pitch shifting AND time stretching... ...but no Pixies - they never show themselves if you want them to because... ...blah.... ...and then... ...because... ...etc.........................

I love it when a subject is treated with humor in the mix of romance. 🙂 This shows a greater versatility than the average which implies however a power DisSiPation. Pitch shifting - as far as I know, first explained by Doppler. Theory that took names - and the Doppler effect which manifests itself everywhere in nature, both on Earth and throughout the Universe at all wavelengths. For the rest - the task is for the DSP-ists to enjoy these effects.

The psilocybin semilanceata does indeed grow in profusion on the moors around here. In my youth, I did 'experiment' (always loved that scientific euphemism for "wanted to get out of my head"). The conclusion I eventually drew from my 'experiments' was that it is a shame that grown-ups so often feel that such things are necessary in order to allow themselves to behave like a child once in while (and that I had behaved like a complete ass for most of the evening!)

More or less my conclusion also, except if one takes substances to behave like a child they are also usually destroying their body to do it.
