I asked them that question at NAMM, and the answer was no then. The 
time-stretch and pitch shift are independent. I assume that is still the 
case. For remixing different samples from other sources, you would want it 
independent. I assume that's the use they were targeting with these 
functions.

But loopers have always loved that speed up and slow down effect that you 
could get from changing tape speed on a tape loop, or changing the delay 
time on older delays. And then mixing overdubs in at different speeds. So 
far as I know Repeater doesn't do that.

(If I could get a nickel for every time somebody has asked for that 
feature 
on the EDP, I would be writing this from my own island.)
