AudioEffectPitchShift
=====================

**Inherits:** :ref:`AudioEffect<class_AudioEffect>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Adds a pitch-shifting audio effect to an audio bus.

Raises or lowers the pitch of original sound.

Description
-----------

Allows modulation of pitch independently of tempo. All frequencies can be increased/decreased with minimal effect on transients.

Tutorials
---------

.. _class_AudioEffectPitchShift_constant_FFT_SIZE_2048:

.. _class_AudioEffectPitchShift_constant_FFT_SIZE_4096:

.. _class_AudioEffectPitchShift_constant_FFT_SIZE_MAX:

enum **FFTSize**:

- **FFT_SIZE_256** = **0** --- Use a buffer of 256 samples for the Fast Fourier transform. Lowest latency, but least stable over time.

- **FFT_SIZE_512** = **1** --- Use a buffer of 512 samples for the Fast Fourier transform. Low latency, but less stable over time.

- **FFT_SIZE_1024** = **2** --- Use a buffer of 1024 samples for the Fast Fourier transform. This is a compromise between latency and stability over time.

- **FFT_SIZE_2048** = **3** --- Use a buffer of 2048 samples for the Fast Fourier transform. High latency, but stable over time.

- **FFT_SIZE_4096** = **4** --- Use a buffer of 4096 samples for the Fast Fourier transform. Highest latency, but most stable over time.

- **FFT_SIZE_MAX** = **5** --- Represents the size of the :ref:`FFTSize<enum_AudioEffectPitchShift_FFTSize>` enum.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_AudioEffectPitchShift_property_fft_size:

- :ref:`FFTSize<enum_AudioEffectPitchShift_FFTSize>` **fft_size**

+-----------+---------------------+
| *Default* | ``3``               |
+-----------+---------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_fft_size(value) |
+-----------+---------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_fft_size()      |
+-----------+---------------------+

The size of the `Fast Fourier transform <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Fourier_transform>`__ buffer. Higher values smooth out the effect over time, but have greater latency. The effects of this higher latency are especially noticeable on sounds that have sudden amplitude changes.

----

.. _class_AudioEffectPitchShift_property_oversampling:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **oversampling**

+-----------+-------------------------+
| *Default* | ``4``                   |
+-----------+-------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_oversampling(value) |
+-----------+-------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_oversampling()      |
+-----------+-------------------------+

The oversampling factor to use. Higher values result in better quality, but are more demanding on the CPU and may cause audio cracking if the CPU can't keep up.

----

.. _class_AudioEffectPitchShift_property_pitch_scale:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **pitch_scale**

+-----------+------------------------+
| *Default* | ``1.0``                |
+-----------+------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_pitch_scale(value) |
+-----------+------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_pitch_scale()      |
+-----------+------------------------+

The pitch scale to use. ``1.0`` is the default pitch and plays sounds unaltered. :ref:`pitch_scale<class_AudioEffectPitchShift_property_pitch_scale>` can range from ``0.0`` (infinitely low pitch, inaudible) to ``16`` (16 times higher than the initial pitch).
