Shapee Description

The Shapee VST plugin was developed to be a frequency shaping tool conceived and described by Christopher Penrose in his papers “Frequency Shaping of Audio Signals” and “Extending Musical Mixing: Adaptive Composite Signal Processing”. This plug-in offers Shapee in a real-time processing environment (i.e. any program you have on your PC that can host VST 2.0 specification plug-ins) with some additional controls. Frequency shaping uses short-time Fourier analysis and resynthesis to combine two sounds according to their spectral content. The ‘spectral content’ of a sound here is considered to be the magnitude and phase of a sound in different frequency bands and how they vary over time. Shapee treats one of the incoming sounds as an ‘amplitude reference’ and the other as a ‘frequency reference’. The output sound combines the frequency distribution of the frequency reference with the spectral formant of the amplitude reference. In many cases this results in the timbre of the amplitude reference following the pitches in the frequency reference.
