And it needs about 1.5% usage of one core of a Core i7 2.6GHz while actively performing pitch shifting on a playing song. If the plugin is loaded but not being used for pitch shifting, runtime overhead is only a few kb of memory. Runtime overhead: zero if the plugin is not loaded (the user can choose whether to load it or not). I developed this app with myself as a user in mind hopefully other users who share similar interests will also find it useful.ĮDIT: Even if these don't seem like compelling reasons for you to use rbpitch, keep in mind the requirements of rbpitch:ĭisk space: 96KB for binaries only the source files are just 30KB. But it really is useful to train my voice (especially when singing in a foreign language!) by slowing down the tempo a lot until I can pronounce the syllables just right. So, aside from the "real" practical uses stated in the readme file, I'd say that I mainly pitch or tempo shift for pure fun or "ear candy". I don't care to break people of this kind of perception, but I know there a lot of people out there who don't hold this sort of bias. Some people just can't fathom listening to a song in a different pitch or tempo because it deviates from the original. It is frequently used in computer games for things like footsteps that play repetitively over and over. There is actually substantial academic research indicating that mild pitch/tempo shifting causes sounds to seem more varied and interesting, stimulating brain activity. I find that changing the pitch/tempo of a song slightly increases the number of times I can listen to it without it getting boring - or a song that I've worn out suddenly becomes significantly less worn out. However, even when I'm not singing, I use it just for fun. My "real" use of it only fits into the "change the music key to match the singer's voice for karaoke" use. *Listen 78 RPM vinyl singles with a usual 33/45 RPM disc player
*Adjust music key instead of retuning instrument for each song *Dancers can change the music tempo suitable for dancing *Change the music key to match the singer's voice (karaoke, singing practice) *Slower music tempo eases practicing music Q: What are the possible uses of rbpitch?Ī: Borrowed from by Olli Parviainen (no infringement intended): Rhythmbox is an excellent media player, and rbpitch makes it that much better! :guitar: WinAmp and PaceMaker won't run on GNU/Linux, though. Rbpitch was inspired by Olli Parviainen's excellent PaceMaker plugin for WinAmp. But it is much easier now than it used to be! For other distros running a recent version of Rhythmbox (I currently require Rhythmbox v0.13.0 or later), you will have to build from source.
#MANUAL FOR WINAMP PACEMAKER SOFTWARE#
My plan for the future is to support the latest stable version of Ubuntu with binary packages that can be installed through Ubuntu Software Center (download a. This thread is very old and contains obsolete / incorrect build instructions please disregard them!
#MANUAL FOR WINAMP PACEMAKER CODE#
Binaries are available for Ubuntu 10.10, 11.04, and 11.10! Visit the Launchpad site and look for "END USER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS"! For those running other distros, you can check out the source code and read the file README.txt for instructions to compile from source. The new homepage for rbpitch is on Launchpad: You can find downloads, information, source code and a bug tracker there. I personally just enjoy the aesthetics of changing the pitch, tempo, and speed of my music. It needs testing, popularity, and bug fixing - you can help! Just trying it and reporting your findings here will be immensely helpful!Īnd you might find it useful, too: I've heard that it is useful for dance lessons, guitar practice, and singing. Rbpitch is a plugin for Rhythmbox that lets you change the pitch, tempo, and speed in real-time while playing a song.
