Frequency
– 2 Main Aspects of Sound that can be Measured using Numbers are Frequency (How often a Sound Wave Fluctuates) and Amplitude (How Far a Sound Wave Fluctuates) – Frequency = How often a Sound Wave Fluctuates – the Simplest Possible Sound is a Sine Wave and has only 1 Frequency at a Time –…

Frequency Shifter
– A “Frequency Shifter”Shifts All Frequencies Additively by a Given Frequency Amount (Up or Down) – the Spectral Content of the Source will Become Increasingly Distorted the More you Shift and Tends to Create “In-Harmonicity” (thus Altering the Frequency Relationship) – e.g. a Source File has a 100Hz Tone and a 200Hz Tone, Frequency Shifting…

Harmonics (Overtone Series)
General – Harmonics Represent the Harmonic Overtone Series and the Fact that Every Key Correlates to another Key on the Piano (in Real Life via Air / Vibration / Waves) – If the Overtones are Whole Multiples of the Fundamental then they are called “Even Harmonics” (as Horn or Cello) – If the Overtones are…

Overtones
General – any Frequency Higher than the Fundamental – Every Sound / Noise we Hear, Consists of a Series of Overtones – or you can Say that Every Sound is a Mix of Different Overlapping Harmonic and Inharmonic Cycles that are Based on a Fundamental – that Mix of Harmonic and Inharmonic Cycles is Together…

Pitch
General – Can be represented on a 1 Dimensional Scale from Low to High (but Pitch Position is Not that Easy to Hear when Notes are Not Comparable as in a Tri-Tone Paradox) Pitch Bend DAW d) Then Divide the 8192 : VSTi PB Range in Cents and the Multiply that Result by the Desired…

Pitch Shifter
– A Pitch Shifter Shifts All Frequency Content by Multiples, so that the Frequency Relationships in the Source File Remain Intact – e.g. when a Source File has a 100Hz Tone and a 200Hz Tone, Pitch Shifting it with a Frequency of 100Hz will Make the 100Hz = 200Hz Tone and the 200Hz a 400Hz…
