| Square Root
and Inverse Square Root Approximations -
by Iain Paterson Stephens |
|
|
It is often necessary to
be able to calculate the square root or inverse square root of
a non-negative floating-point number to a high degree of accuracy.
This may be used, for example, when calculating the magnitude
of the output from an FFT or for Feedforward Automatic Gain Control.
A simple, effective and fast algorithm for this is based on the
Newton-Raphson iteration method.
For example, the inverse square root 'x' of the floating point
number 'y' can be calculated as follows. more>> |

Time
Stretching And Pitch Shifting of Audio Signals by
Stephan M. Bernsee.
|
|
|
|
As opposed
to the process of pitch transposition achieved using a simple
sample rate conversion, Pitch Shifting is a way to change
the pitch of a signal without changing its length. In practical
applications, this is usually achieved by changing the length
of a sound using one of the below methods and then performing
a sample rate conversion to change the pitch.
There exists a certain
confusion in terminology, as Pitch Shifting is often also
incorrectly named 'Frequency Shifting'. A true Frequency
Shift (as obtainable by modulating an analytic signal by
a complex exponential) will shift the spectrum of a sound,
while Pitch Shifting will dilate it, upholding the harmonic
relationship of the sound. Frequency Shifting yields a metallic,
inharmonic sound which may well be an interesting special
effect but which is a totally inadequate process for changing
the pitch of any harmonic sound except a single sine wave. more>>
