Strange, there shouldn't be a lot of artefacts if there's no stretching.
Just a bit of aliasing perhaps if you record slow, and play back
at high speed.
Would be fascinating to know which interpolation algorithm produces
the "Repeater" sound, I'd always assumed it was the time stretch 
varying it's grain size in a somewhat haphazard way.
