Frequently asked questions

It uses the Web Audio API's AudioBufferSourceNode with a playbackRate value of 2^(semitones/12). This is the standard mathematical relationship between semitones and frequency ratios.

Yes — this tool uses rate-based pitch shifting, so duration changes proportionally. Shifting +12 semitones (one octave up) halves the duration. Shifting −12 (one octave down) doubles it. True pitch-only shifting (formant-preserving) requires more complex algorithms.

A semitone is the smallest interval in Western music — the distance between adjacent keys on a piano. 12 semitones = 1 octave. Common musical intervals: minor 3rd = 3 st, perfect 4th = 5 st, perfect 5th = 7 st.

Currently the tool works in whole semitone steps. For fine-tuned pitch adjustment, use the Audio Equalizer or contact us for feature requests.

No. Pitch shifting runs entirely in your browser using OfflineAudioContext.
