PitchShift

PitchShift does near-realtime pitch shifting to the incoming signal. The effect is achieved by speeding up or slowing down the delayTime of a DelayNode using a sawtooth wave. Algorithm found in this pdf. Additional reference by Miller Pucket.

Hierarchy

Constructor

new PitchShift (
pitch?:Interval

The interval to transpose the incoming signal by.

) => PitchShift
new PitchShift (
options?:Partial<PitchShiftOptions >
) => PitchShift

Properties

blockTime #

readonly Seconds

The number of seconds of 1 processing block (128 samples)


console.log(Tone.Destination.blockTime);

channelCount #

number

channelCount is the number of channels used when up-mixing and down-mixing connections to any inputs to the node. The default value is 2 except for specific nodes where its value is specially determined.

channelCountMode #

ChannelCountMode

channelCountMode determines how channels will be counted when up-mixing and down-mixing connections to any inputs to the node. The default value is "max". This attribute has no effect for nodes with no inputs.

  • "max" - computedNumberOfChannels is the maximum of the number of channels of all connections to an input. In this mode channelCount is ignored.
  • "clamped-max" - computedNumberOfChannels is determined as for "max" and then clamped to a maximum value of the given channelCount.
  • "explicit" - computedNumberOfChannels is the exact value as specified by the channelCount.

channelInterpretation #

ChannelInterpretation

channelInterpretation determines how individual channels will be treated when up-mixing and down-mixing connections to any inputs to the node. The default value is "speakers".

context #

BaseContext

The context belonging to the node.

debug #

boolean

Set this debug flag to log all events that happen in this class.

delayTime #

Param<"time" >

The amount of delay on the input signal

disposed #

readonly boolean

Indicates if the instance was disposed. 'Disposing' an instance means that all of the Web Audio nodes that were created for the instance are disconnected and freed for garbage collection.

feedback #

Param<"normalRange" >

The amount of signal which is fed back into the effect input.

input #

Gain

The effect input node

numberOfInputs #

readonly number

The number of inputs feeding into the AudioNode. For source nodes, this will be 0.


const node = new Tone.Gain();
console.log(node.numberOfInputs);

numberOfOutputs #

readonly number

The number of outputs of the AudioNode.


const node = new Tone.Gain();
console.log(node.numberOfOutputs);

output #

CrossFade

The effect output

pitch #

number

Repitch the incoming signal by some interval (measured in semi-tones).


const pitchShift = new Tone.PitchShift().toDestination();
const osc = new Tone.Oscillator().connect(pitchShift).start().toDestination();
pitchShift.pitch = -12; // down one octave
pitchShift.pitch = 7; // up a fifth

sampleTime #

readonly Seconds

The duration in seconds of one sample.


console.log(Tone.Transport.sampleTime);

static version #

string

The version number semver

wet #

Signal<"normalRange" >

The wet control is how much of the effected will pass through to the output. 1 = 100% effected signal, 0 = 100% dry signal.

windowSize #

Seconds

The window size corresponds roughly to the sample length in a looping sampler. Smaller values are desirable for a less noticeable delay time of the pitch shifted signal, but larger values will result in smoother pitch shifting for larger intervals. A nominal range of 0.03 to 0.1 is recommended.

Methods

chain #
