The Pitch Designer

It's time for something new...
The multi-band pitch shifter PRISM takes a fresh approach to solve the
problem of shifting the pitch of complex sound sources in realtime.
Traditional frequency shifting shifts all frequencies in an input up by
the same amount and thereby alters their harmonic relation and tends to
produce inharmonic results. But it's perfect in dealing with transients.
Pitch shifting on the other side sounds "right", but the transients go
mad and the sound gets metallic and grainy especially on high down
shiftings.

PRISM splits the spectrum in 27 bands and applies a different amount of
frequency shifting to each band emulating a harmonic pitch shifting. This
gives you perfect pitch shifting for all kind of drum sounds over a vast
shifting range of +/- five octaves without disturbing the transients or
introducing metallic distortions. With harmonic sounds you will get
inharmonicities but it's much better behaved than pure frequency
shifting. The extreme range of shifting gives you access to a vast field
of unknown sonic territory.
The possibility to apply different shiftings on each band gives you
exciting possibilities:

Suppose you have a drum loop which is perfect, but the bass drum is a
bit too high or too low to fit in your mix then you can easily get the
bass drum shifted a bit down and the rest of the spectrum remains
unchanged..
