[comp.music] Time stretching/Pitch shifting

scott@psy.uwa.oz.au (Scott Fisher) (06/14/91)

Can anyone point me to a good reference on real-time digital pitch
shifting.  You know, decoupling sample duration and the sample frequeny 
spectrum for independent pitch/time manipulation.  Without having to
resort to Fourier transformations if possible.

A general posting here or directly to me via email on the topic would be 
great too.

I am trying to write such a program my self, the one I have works
but is very noisy.  I am shifting a very short loop through a sample at 
various rates.  Loop play-back rate gives pitch and the rate at which the 
loop moves through sample gives duration.  Amplitude mis-match between 
loop start-end points is causing all the noise (glitching).

So should I "really" do this :-)

Thanks in Advance
Scott Fisher.
