Changing pitch without changing speed is surprisingly complex. Here's what's happening under the hood:
The Challenge
In the physical world, pitch and speed are linked. A guitar string vibrating faster produces a higher note. A record spinning faster sounds higher and plays faster. This is why old-school methods give you "chipmunk voice" when you speed up audio.
The Solution: Phase Vocoder
Modern pitch shifters use a technique called a phase vocoder. Instead of changing playback speed, it analyzes and reconstructs the audio:
- 1.Analysis: The audio is broken into tiny overlapping chunks (called "frames") and analyzed using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) to find all the frequencies present.
- 2.Frequency Shifting: All detected frequencies are mathematically shifted up or down by the desired amount (e.g., +2 semitones = multiply all frequencies by 1.122).
- 3.Resynthesis: The shifted frequencies are converted back to audio and the frames are overlapped smoothly to create continuous sound.
