PITCHPLAY(1)

💿 PITCHPLAY 💿

ok bestie, welcome to pitchplay — it's the manual page for a lil wrapper script (yeah, she's from the pitchplay family, we love her) and she's here to make your audio tracks go wee-woo-wee in pitch. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pitchplay — a wrapper script that plays audio tracks with cdda2wav at all different pitches, blasting them out through a soundcard. and no, you can't skip this part: cdda2wav must have soundcard support enabled, or the whole vibe is cooked. 💀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pitchplay <track a> <pitch a> <track b> <pitch b>...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: pitchplay lets you play back audio tracks with cdda2wav, and you get to pick the pitch for each one. the pitches are given as percentages, and the scale goes like this:

• 100% — the original pitch, no notes, untouched, main character as-is. 👑
• 50% — one whole octave lower. it's giving slow-mo villain monologue. 😭
• 200% — one whole octave higher. tiny chipmunk energy, honestly iconic. 🐿️

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

pitchplay 1 90  3 140  5 50

the way this one line does SO much: it plays track 1 with a pitch of 90%, track 3 with a pitch of 140%, and track 5 with a pitch of 50%. three tracks, three completely different vibes, one command. periodt. 💅

This manpage describes the program implementation of pitchplay as shipped by the cdrkit distribution. See http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debburn/ for details. It is a spinoff from the original program distributed by the cdrtools project. However, the cdrtools developers are not involved in the development of this spinoff and therefore shall not be made responsible for any problem caused by it. Do not try to get support for this program by contacting the original authors. fr fr, they will not answer, don't do it to yourself. 😭
