 Monophonic voice:
Timestretching and pitchshifting for vocal solos, speech,
or solo instruments. The material must not contain background noise, and
excessive reverb may also be detrimental to the use of this method. With
suitable material the audio quality is very high. The "Correct formant factor"
option preserves formants if pitches are changed. These are characteristic
basic frequencies of the voice that are independent of the pitch that is sung. In
other words, the characteristic discoloration of pitch ("Mickey Mouse") effect
does not occur in this case. The formants, however, can be shifted by +/- 12
half tones. This achieves suitable vocal distortions. Beat markers are not
evaluated.
Resampling: Pitch shift and tempo cannot be changed individually. This
method requires considerably less CPU time. If the pitch is increased or the
sample is shortened, then resampling is almost completely free of loss, and the
sample material will suffer almost no damage. In other cases, resampling
causes loss of overtones.
