Shifting Pitch
The Cakewalk-Pitch Shifter raises or lowers the pitch of an audio signal, while
leaving the duration of the audio clip unchanged. The pitch shift parameters are as
follows:
To Apply Pitch Shift to Audio Data
1. Select the audio data to be affected.
2. Choose Process-Audio Effects-Cakewalk-Pitch Shifter to open the
Cakewalk FX Pitch Shifter dialog box.
3. Set the pitch shift parameters, as described in the table above.
4. Click OK.
SONAR applies the pitch shift to the selected data.
This is a fast pitch shifter that uses minimal computation time. The Cakewalk
Time/Pitch Stretch command, described below, can produce higher quality
output, but requires a lot more computational time.
Stretching Time and Pitch
The Cakewalk-Time/Pitch Stretch command lengthens or shortens audio data,
and raises or lowers pitch. Time and pitch can be stretched independently. You can
use this effect to stretch or compress audio while preserving pitch, or to change
pitch while preserving duration, or both. Time/Pitch Stretch is not available in
real-time. For real-time time and pitch stretching, use Groove clips. For more
information, see Chapter 6, Using Loops.
Parameter/
Option...
Meaning...
Pitch The amount by which the pitch is changed, in semitones
Dry Mix (%) The volume of the original, unprocessed signal passed to
the output
Wet Mix (%) The volume of the processed signal passed to the output
Feedback Mix (%) The amount of pitch-shifted signal that is fed into a delay
line
Delay Time (ms) The length of the delay in milliseconds
Mod. Depth (ms) The amount the delay time will vary
