ST Index | Contrast | Equalize | FreqShift | FreqWarp   FreqWarp ST RTAS / OSX Perform a radical transformation of a sound by transposing its frequency components in a completely free and creative way. How does it work? Note in the screenshot above that there is a control window bordered by a horizontal bar beneath it, marked 'input', and a vertical bar to the left, marked 'output'. Note also that there is a diagonal curved line drawn through the window, with segments of the curve marked by 'junction points'. The input bar beneath the control window shows a bar display of the frequency components of an input sound, where low-to-high frequencies are represented left to right and the intensity of the frequency components is represented by color. The output bar to the left of the control window shows a bar display of the output sound, where low-to-high frequencies are represented bottom to top and the intensity of the frequency components is represented by color density. The diagonal line shown in the control window defines the transpositions from input sound to output sound. When the diagonal line is straight from lower left to upper right, the position of any point on the line indicates the same frequency along the input and output bars. When you click on the diagonal line, or anywhere in the control window, you create a junction point at a specific position that represents a source frequency in the input sound and a destination frequency in the output sound. You are, in effect, transferring a frequency from the input sound to a new position in the output sound, and the output sound will contain a rearrangement of the frequency components of the input sound. This can result in a radical change in timbre. |||
