Semitones, Cents:
Set the pitch shift amount.
Granularity:
The size of individual time-slices which are pitch-shifted.
When transposing down, the Pitch Shifter occasionally deletes a snip of
audio to preserve tempo. When transposing up, an occasional snip of audio is
repeated to preserve tempo. The Pitch Shifter uses a pattern-matching process
to locate the best splice points.
When the shifter has to insert or delete pieces of audio to preserve file length,
it will not insert or delete snips any smaller than half the Granularity length.
Small Granularity has tighter timing, but can sound nasty on low-pitched or
complex signals.
Large Granularity sounds smoother, with possible damage to rhythmic
timing.
A granularity of 50ms works for many types of audio, a compromise between
smoothness and rhythmic timing.
