Question about tempo and pitchshifting

Isn't it correct that most producers back in the days with the equipment they had, shifted the pitch and the tempo of sample at the same time? As in go in higher in pitch when speeding up samples and vice verca?

I think it's a nice way to do it, it sounds natural that the sample end up in the pitch it does, and I'm actually thinking about investing in a Maschine MK1 instead of MK2, because the MK1 works like that, no?
