QuikQuak Pitchwheel: Change Pitch Without Stretching The Note

February 14, 2008
QuikQuak Pitchwheel

QuikQuak's latest plug-in, the Pitchwheel, can change the pitch of a sound without altering its length in real-time. Its operation centers around a large dial and simple parameters -- a surefire formula for instant, creative fun.

Pitchwheel can change your pitch anywhere from a couple of semitones to a couple of octaves. The user pointer represents the pitch you desire to change to, and QuikQuak smooths the sound to that actual pitch.

When used alone, you can create odd effects. Simulate Doppler effects or alter atmospheric background noises to match your melodies easily. Control internal processing with the buffer size parameter to achieve the best sound.

Features

  • Changes the pitch but not the length of a sound.
  • Large and easy to to use, ideal for experiments and live performances.
  • Full range adjustments from one semitone to an octave up or down.
  • Unique inertia parameters for springy vibrato effects.
  • Sample accurate changes prevent stepped pitch changes.
  • Phase locked for stereo sounds.
  • Buffer size changes, allows quality adjustments for vocal or percussion.
  • Great visual feed-back with semitone snap, and actual pitch indicator.
  • Extremely low CPU.

Came across this by accident, it's great fun to spin sounds around like that, and works really efficiently. I'll recommend trying it, as it has a new take on old idea.
