✏️ Editing: pitchplay

#! /bin/sh
#
# Script to play audio tracks with different pitches 
# through a soundcard (cdda2wav must have soundcard
# support enabled).
#
# Pitches are specified in percentage with 100% being
# the original pitch, 50% being one octave lower, 200%
# one octave higher.
#
# based on a script from Raul Sobon, who created the pitch
# feature. Thanks Raul.
#
# usage: pitchplay <track a> <pitch a> <track b> <pitch b> ...
#
# example: pitchplay 1 90  3 140  5 50
# will play track 1 with a pitch of 90%,
#           track 3 with a pitch of 140%, and
#           track 5 with a pitch of 50%.
