Such devices have been used in music industry, especially vocals,
guitars, and other instruments.

They have been variously known as pitch shifters, pitch scalers, or
harmonizers. This function has become a feature in multi-effects
boxes for electronic music instruments, recording, and live sound
processing. 

It is done by changing the rescan rate of digitized audio, and some
other syncro tricks, and the effect is most recently accomplished in
real time with a good DSP engine (or several). 

The technique for audio timescale pitch modification is used in
voice commercials (spots), usually the legal fine print disclaimer
heard very fast at the end of the spot. The voice is sped up, but the
pitch is then adjusted back lower to the original speed. 

In my recording studio, I have a DSP multi-effects rack-mount device
(with 3 DSP engines in it) that has a pitch change feature, selectable
as one of the many presets, and various parameters can be adjusted
with a menu, such as octave, percent, or relative pitch change
up/down. Perhaps this sort of feature could exist as real time PC
computer software, but I don't know. Real time audio and PC
computer don't seem to be allowed in the same sentence these days, at
least in the Windows world.

[digitalradio] Phoenix Area PSK on VHF

2009-01-27 Thread ke7tqc
Anyone in the Phoenix area interested in VHF PSK31?, I'm looking to
try and get a FM or SSB 2M net on PSK31 established in the Phoenix
area.  I know the range isn't like HF, but it could be something to
break the same old same old on 2M.

Thanks
Mike, KE7TQC

the software that came with my Sony digital recorder ICD-P320 does this 
trick. The device will record more than 20 hours. The listener can speed up 
the playback, the pitch never changes.

Mike,

We started out on SSB using PSK63, then switched to FM using PSK63, but have 
had the most luck with DominoEx 8 for our twice-weekly FM net, so I suggest 
you look at DominoEx 8, which is in fldigi or Multipsk.

Theoretically, when using FM, drift should not be a problem and PSK31 should 
work as well as DominoEX, but we have found that for signals under limiting 
and quieting, DominoEx seems better.

For those with FM-only transceivers, VOX is usually not available, so you 
need an interface with built-in VOX, like the SignaLink USB, for PTT 
switching by the software. I have developed a low cost alternative interface 
for FM-only transceivers. The schematic is here:

2009-01-27 Thread pa0ocd
Hello Norbert,


Yes ok about tuning in, in the first Test I was doing only the 
transmitting


Last night I heard a MFFT station on 80 meters and it was Yussi OH7TE.

The signal strength was about s-6 with QSB, so a pretty good signal 
and I had no problem tuning in and decoding the signal at Half speed.
We made contact and later on we changed to 1/4 speed and decoding 
performed well with a few errors, but had the impression that some 
kind of FEC would be helpfull.

BTW: The auto AFC was doing a fine job! 

So we will do more testing on the air with MFFT soon.

Hi Paul,

try the new MFTT 3.0.150_Beta it now has a simple FEC in a way that
single damaged characters are suppressed. They will no longer damage 
the sync of the whole word.

Do not expect a wonder, but it will help a bit.

I had to double the pause between the words to be able to distinguish 
between of damaged part of character and end of word.
