Abstract

In a pitch shifting method, an input sound signal is stored into a memory, and a period of the input sound signal is extracted. Then, a sawtooth wave is produced whose amplitude is set to a value which is integer times the extracted period. A read address is designated based on the sawtooth wave, and the input sound signal is read from the memory using the designated read address.
