Real Time Pitch Shifting with Formant Structure Preservation Using the Phase Vocoder
نویسنده
چکیده
Pitch shifting in speech is presented based on the use of the phase vocoder in combination with spectral whitening and envelope reconstruction, applied respectively before and after the transformation. A band preservation technique is introduced to contain quality degradation when downscaling the pitch. The transposition ratio is fixed in advance by selecting analysis and synthesis window sizes. Real time performance is demonstrated for window sizes having adequate factorization required by fast Fourier transformation.

A real-time variable-q non-stationary Gabor transform for pitch shifting
This paper proposes a real-time variable-Q non-stationary Gabor transform (VQ-NSGT) system for speech pitch shifting. The system allows for time-frequency representations of speech on variable-Q (VQ) with perfect reconstruction and computational efficiency. The proposed VQ-NSGT phase vocoder can be used for pitch shifting by simple frequency translation (transposing partials along the frequency...
متن کاملImproving the phase vocoder approach to pitch-shifting
A class of methods known as phase vocoders allows for implementing pitch shifting in the spectral domain. We extend the approach of shifting the isolated harmonics of the spectrum by introducing a new technique for separating the sinusoidal components. Keeping together the main lobe and the side lobes, which result from convolution of the harmonics with the spectrum of the analysis window in th...

متن کاملImproved Pvsola Time-stretching and Pitch-shifting for Polyphonic Audio
An advanced phase vocoder technique for high quality audio pitch shifting and time stretching is described. Its main concept is based on the PVSOLA time stretching algorithm which is already known to give good results on monophonic speech. Some enhancements are proposed to add the ability to process polyphonic material at equal quality by distinguishing between sinusoidal and noisy frequency co...
متن کاملA Wavelet-based Pitch-shifting Method
In audio engineering, Pitch shifting is a term to describe the process of changing the pitch of an audio signal (which is related to the logarithm of the frequency), but opposite to resampling, pitch shifting retains the duration of the original signal. This process is very useful for example in correcting slightly out-of-tune singers or instruments. The dual problem is changing the signal dura...
