Keep the length of a sound whatever its pitch does #317
A Pitch used to keep the length only for the pitch a voice started at. Set sound FX parameters changed it by speed, so a sweep made the sound longer or shorter, and length into time no longer spanned the sound. Now a way with a Pitch is played by an AudioWorklet, a phase vocoder whose pitch is an AudioParam in semitones. The length never changes, and a pitch glides, ramps and eases like a Gain. - PitchPlayer (core/soundfx) is the vocoder as a plain class, so it runs in a unit test. Frames of about 43 ms, four overlapping, a real FFT done as a complex one of half the size. - Peaks are moved with the bins around them (Laroche and Dolson's phase locking), and frames are turned by half their size so a phase is the one at the middle. Without both, a tone beat against itself and dipped to 0.54 of its loudness while the pitch moved. - It reads the sound itself rather than being fed it. It looks ahead as far as a frame reaches, so a voice starts with its first sample and every way of a Mix stays in step. A change of pitch is heard about half a frame (20 ms) late. - At exactly 0 a frame is the sound itself and costs next to nothing. Coming back to 0, the phases are pulled round to the sound's for about half a second before it switches, so the switch does not dip. - pitchWorklet (viewport) is the processor, bundled by Vite through ?worker&url. It is loaded with the first play that has a Pitch, which waits for it like for its bytes. A file's samples are sent with its first voice only and kept in the worklet's scope. - A way has the worklet when its plan has a Pitch, a typed-in 0 excepted (FxChain.shifted). A way without one stays a plain buffer source. Without AudioWorklet a Pitch is not heard, and the console says so. - The pitched copies (WSOLA, pitchShift.ts) and their cache are gone. - Decisions of the user: the player at the source rather than an effect in the chain, a phase vocoder rather than WSOLA, no limit on voices, no range tighter than the node's -64 to +64. - stats() says whether the worklet is there, levels() gives a pitch in semitones, and __gm.sound.pitchWorkletUrl() lets a check run it. Tests: - pitch-player.test.ts (new, replaces pitch-shift.test.ts): 11 tests. Pitches from -30.5 to +12 within 2 %, the length to the sample, 0 exact to 1e-5, a sweep half a frame behind, 8 kHz sounds, loops, ramps there and back without a dip. - sound-library.test.ts: 23 tests (+4), soundfx.test.ts: 31 (+1). - Counter-checks: no worklet in the player, shifted taken from the value, no pull back to 0. 15 tests fail, files restored by cmp. - e2e 34 on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 34 checks (+1). In real Chrome the worklet is there and the pitch param glides to 3.0007. Offline: 880.0 Hz for 440 an octave up, 48000 of 48000 samples, a sweep 0 to -12 at 392 then 248 Hz, still 48000 samples. - Gate on melektaus-atx: 242 test files, 3690 tests, CHECK EXIT 0. - Cost: 53 ms per second of a stereo voice at +5 in Node on stein2, 5 ms at 0. In headless Chrome 16 voices for 2 s took 1.3 s, about 24 fill the audio thread. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
