Discussed Phase vocoders

“A phase vocoder is a type of vocoder which can scale both the frequency and time domains of audio signals by using phase information. The computer algorithm allows frequency-domain modifications to a digital sound file (typically time expansion/compression and pitch shifting).”

In PD:

Look at measure spectrum 

(Help -> Browser -> Pure Data -> Audio Examples -> I07)

TO upload a sound click the toggle for the sample and find a sound file (MUST BE A .WAV file)
