This is a phase vocoder written in C++. The main purpose of a phase vocoder is to change the speed and pitch of a given voice recording file.

Current version supports the following time stretching algorithms

• Default: number of frames remain the same, while the output synthesis-rate/frame-shift/hop-size is modified correspondingly.
• --phaseLock: perform phase locking as described in [Laroche99]
• --fdTimeStretch: perform interpolate/extrapolate on spectrogram, thus the number of frames changed; while the output synthesis-rate/frame-shift/hop-size remain the same as analysis.
• Both --phaseLocking and --fdTimeStretch

Heuristically, use --phaseLock for human speech and --fdTimeStretch for music yield the best result.

Current version supports the following pitch shifting algorithms

• Default: perform time stretching for compensation, then modify output synthesis-rate/frame-shift/hop-size so the total length remains but pitch changed (due to up/down sampling)
• --fdPitchShift: directly modify spectrogram; both the number of frames and output synthesis-rate/frame-shift/hop-size remain the same as analysis. Default approach is suggested. --fdPitchShift hasn't been optimized yet.

Linux, OS X

g++ 4.2 or higher

make to create PhaseVocoder.exe.

After PhaseVocoder.exe is complied, go to test/ directory and run sh test.sh.
