ABSTRACT:
A pitch shift apparatus is provided to pitch shift a digital audio signal into a pitch-shifted signal. The apparatus comprises a receiving means, a pitch shifting means and a connecting means, wherein the connecting means comprises: a search region comparator for comparing each sample in the search region with a reference level to obtain a search region bit sequence representing the amplitude of each sample in the search region; a cross region comparator for comparing each sample in the cross region with the reference level to obtain a cross region bit sequence representing the amplitude of each sample in the cross region; a bit processor for bit comparing the cross region bit sequence and any sub-search region bit sequence of M samples in the search region to obtain a corresponding non-similarity; and a connecting device connecting the cross region and a sub-search region corresponding to the minimum non-similarity to renew the pitch-shifted signal.
