with_fx :pitch_shift
Changes the pitch of a signal without affecting tempo. Does this mainly through the pitch parameter which takes a midi number to transpose by. You can also play with the other params to produce some interesting textures and sounds.
Introduced in v2.5
| amp: |
The amplitude of the sound. Typically a value between 0 and 1. Higher amplitudes may be used, but won’t make the sound louder, they will just reduce the quality of all the sounds currently being played (due to compression.)
Default: 1
|
| mix: |
The amount (percentage) of FX present in the resulting sound represented as a value between 0 and 1. For example, a mix of 0 means that only the original sound is heard, a mix of 1 means that only the FX is heard (typically the default) and a mix of 0.5 means that half the original and half of the FX is heard.
Default: 1
|
| pre_mix: |
The amount (percentage) of the original signal that is fed into the internal FX system as a value between 0 and 1. With a pre_mix: of 0 the FX is completely bypassed unlike a mix: of 0 where the internal FX is still being fed the original signal but the output of the FX is ignored. The difference between the two is subtle but important and is evident when the FX has a residual component such as echo or reverb. When switching mix: from 0 to 1, the residual component of the FX’s output from previous audio is present in the output signal. With pre_mix: there is no residual component of the previous audio in the output signal.
Default: 1
|
| pre_amp: |
Amplification applied to the input signal immediately before it is passed to the FX.
Default: 1
|
| window_size: |
Pitch shift works by chopping the input into tiny slices, then playing these slices at a higher or lower rate. If we make the slices small enough and overlap them, it sounds like the original sound with the pitch changed. The window_size is the length of the slices and is measured in seconds. It needs to be around 0.2 (200ms) or greater for pitched sounds like guitar or bass, and needs to be around 0.02 (20ms) or lower for percussive sounds like drum loops. You can experiment with this to get the best sound for your input.
Default: 0.2
|
| pitch: |
Pitch adjustment in semitones. 1 is up a semitone, 12 is up an octave, -12 is down an octave etc. Maximum upper limit of 24 (up 2 octaves). Lower limit of -72 (down 6 octaves). Decimal numbers can be used for fine tuning.
Default: 0
|
| pitch_dis: |
Pitch dispersion - how much random variation in pitch to add. Using a low value like 0.001 can help to “soften up” the metallic sounds, especially on drum loops. To be really technical, pitch_dispersion is the maximum random deviation of the pitch from the pitch ratio (which is set by the pitch param)
Default: 0.0
|
| time_dis: |
Time dispersion - how much random delay before playing each grain (measured in seconds). Again, low values here like 0.001 can help to soften up metallic sounds introduced by the effect. Large values are also fun as they can make soundscapes and textures from the input, although you will most likely lose the rhythm of the original. NB - This won’t have an effect if it’s larger than window_size.
Default: 0.0
