The Pitch control in Music Speed Changer lets you adjust a track's pitch independent of the tempo, which means you can raise the pitch of the audio without making it faster and lower the pitch of the audio without making it slower.

Pitch
+0.00
+0.00
Current value (in semitones) - tap to change (or use slider)
Reset button - tap to restore default value
Slider - slide to left to lower the pitch or right to increase

You can control the playing track's pitch either by using the slider or by tapping on the display value and adjusting the wheel picker.

Snap Pitch to Semitones

If you want the pitch control to be limited to whole semitone values, turn on Snap Pitch to Semitones in Settings.

Adjust the Pitch Shift Range

The default range for shifting pitch in Music Speed Changer is two octaves. You can narrow the range to one octave or expand the range to four octaves in Settings. Please note that large shifts can cause undesirable distortion. For more details, see Adjusting the Pitch Shift Range.

Adding Plus/Minus Buttons

To make adjusting easier, you can add +/- buttons. Turning on this feature in sSettings will add plus/minus buttons to the left and right of each of the sliders in the app. For more details, see Adding Plus and Minus Buttons to Controls.

Plus/minus buttons

The Pitch and Tempo controls can be joined into a single control, Rate, which scales the speed and frequency at the same ratio. For more details, see Rate Controls for Joint Audio Speed and Frequency Scaling.
