Measuring pitch is very similar to measuring formants.

1. Make sure pitch analysis is enabled by clicking on ‘Pitch’ and ‘Show pitch’. Pitch is drawn as a blue line.
2. Again, you have to adjust the settings (‘Pitch’, ‘Pitch settings. . . ’). Suggested pitch range: 75 to 300 Hz for men, 150 to 500 Hz for women.
3. Click where you want to take your measurement.
4. Click ‘Pitch’ and ‘Get pitch’ (shortcut: F5).

Again, doing this while you have an active selection will give you the mean pitch for this interval. The commands ‘Get minimum pitch’ and ‘Get maximum pitch’ do just what their name implies.

Just as with formants you can display the pitch contour in the picture window (‘Draw visible pitch contour. . . ’). Finally, pitch can also be modified.

1. Go to the objects window and select the sound you want to alter.
2. Click on ‘Manipulate -’ (fourth button from the bottom) and ‘To Manipulation. . . ’
3. A new object has appeared in your objects list. Mark it and click ‘View & Edit’.
4. You can now alter the pitch contour (hold shift to move several anchor points together) and save the altered sound (to the objects list) by clicking on ‘File’ and ‘Publish resynthesis’.
