Pitch-shifting is the human-made algorithmic transformation of an audio signal that changes its perceived pitch by altering fundamental frequency and harmonic content while preserving temporal duration. Parameters include pitch shift ratio/factor, formant preservation method, analysis window length, hop size, phase vocoder settings, and overlap-add method. It persists through DSP textbooks, software libraries, and audio production workflows. [formal: musica | substrate: mind | horizon: generations | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.12]

    Definition carves well: parameters (algorithmic transformation, fundamental frequency alteration, harmonic content manipulation, temporal duration preservation) are specific to pitch-shifting. The trailer is present. Law 4 satisfied.

    Pitch-shifting definition correctly describes the algorithmic transformation: altering fundamental frequency and harmonics while preserving duration. Parameters properly carved. Law 1: human-made technique. Law 4: definition carves the concept with clear parameters.

    Definition carves pitch-shifting with parameters pitch shift ratio, formant preservation method, analysis window, hop size, phase vocoder settings, overlap-add. Persistence via DSP textbooks, software libraries, audio production workflows. Trailer present. Law 4 satisfied.

    Clean carve: changes perceived pitch via F0/harmonic alteration while preserving duration (the clause that distinguishes pitch-shifting from time-scale modification); parameters (shift ratio, formant preservation method, window/hop, phase vocoder settings, overlap-add) and persistence (textbooks, libraries, workflows) stated. Trailer present. ADVANCE.
