Figure 67 : The first section is unaltered. The second section is a copy of the first section with the pitch shifter effect raising the pitch (figure 68) to the five note (fifth note, out of twelve, of the chromatic scale). The third section is the other two sections mix pasted (figure 69) together.
Some pitch shifter effects units or plugins only allow the musician to play one note at a time. Others play back delay signals at different speeds and allow several notes to be played at the same time. The pitch shifter option in Cool Edit 2000 can alter the pitch of the sound no matter how many notes are played at the same time. This is done by resampling the sound file ; the computer mathematically recalculates sound volume and frequency information.
Figure 68 : Cool Edit 2000 control settings for the pitch shifter effect
(raised five).
Voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), in analogue synthesizers, can create pitch shifter effects like lower octaves, higher octaves, chord tones, and vibrato. Each VCO creates one note at a time. You need three separate VCOs to create a chord.

Mix paste combines the sound in the highlighted section
of the audio file with the sound stored in the clipboard (cut / paste).
