Pitch Shift

Pitch Shift allows you to change the pitch of the audio with or without affecting its length. You can also create harmonies by specifying several pitches or apply pitch shift based on an envelope curve.

On the Transpose tab, the following options are available:

Keyboard display

Shows a graphic overview of the transposition where the root note is indicated in red and the transposed key is indicated in blue.

Note

The indicated root note has nothing to do with the key or pitch of the original audio, it just provides a way to display transpose intervals.

  • To change the root note, use the settings in the Pitch Shift Base section, or hold Alt, and click the keyboard display.

  • To specify a transpose interval, click one of the keys.

  • To specify a chord, activate Multi Shift and click several keys.

    To remove a transpose interval, click a blue key.
