Do we have a way to chance a sound pitch live during runtime?

As the title implies, I'm looking for a way to alter a .wav's pitch at runtime, live.

You can adjust the sound frequency which will adjust the pitch. However it will also make your sample play slower/faster depending if you want to raise or lower the pitch.
As for doing that and keeping the .wav duration the same, I don't think it's possible.

Hmm. Looks like I've got some learning to do on this one. That is one tricky control!

Hehe I use it a lot. Just take a closer look of what your sample rate is. I always render my sounds 44100k, and use a value to control the frequency.

Did you just update your profile picture, it's a bit brighter?

Hi all. If your building for HTML5, changing the sample rate works fine in every browser except Internet Explorer. Just thught I'd mention that as I have developped several virtual string tuning games and the best results are on Chrome and Safari. IE does not change the frequency and ingonres the command.

Nope, didn't change it! Maybe it changed because I'm not brighter for having learned more about frequencies, lol.

Is there a hard and fast amount to change a frequency so it becomes a new note? Changing a C to C# to D, for example?

It's my monitor, it's a bit skewed it seems. =D

I think it should be possible, there's probably a simple math for that, and it will depend of your sample rate.
With a little bit of tweaking I'm sure you can figure it out.
