(English: Phase vocoder) is a vocoder modeling audio signals through amplitude and phase in the frequency domain. At the heart of the phase vocoder is the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), through the following stages. Analysis: Conversion from time-domain representation → time–frequency representation (English version) by STFT. Modification: Manipulating amplitude and phase of arbitrary frequency components. Resynthesis: Frequency-domain representation → time-domain representation through inverse STFT. A phase vocoder allows time-stretching and pitch conversion of audio signals through frequency-domain modification. Changing STFT analysis frames' temporal positions before resynthesis also changes the resynthesized result's evolution in time, for example enabling changes in sound timescale. British composer Trevor Wishart (English version) created “Vox V()” (on the album “Vox Cycle (English version)”) based on phase-vocoder analysis/transformation of the human voice. American composer Roger Reynolds's “Transfigured Wind()” used a phase vocoder to time-stretch flute sounds. Introduced as an algorithm maintaining horizontal coherence between phases of bins representing sinusoidal components. This original phase vocoder did not consider vertical coherence between adjacent frequency bins, so audio signals time-stretched by the system lacked clarity.
