Explanation on the Relationship between Tempo and Pitch in Music

Time Stretching” is the reciprocal process to Pitch Shifting. It leaves the pitch of the signal intact while changing its speed (tempo) while Pitch Shifting is a way to change the pitch of a signal without changing its length. The tempo of an audio file, measured in beats per minute (BPM), can be changed using various software tools and online platforms. An effective tempo changer often allows the user to modify the BPM without altering the pitch.

Pitch: Changes the sound pitch, without affecting the sound tempo or speed.

For changing the tempo, you have to resampling the original signal appropriately and for this you need an algorithm. The basic idea is that you have to first calculate the whole pitch periods in a processing buffer and repeat the period of pitch to lower or delete inorder to increase the tempo.

For changing the pitch which often called Pitch Shifting, is a way to change the pitch of a signal without changing its length.Typically, good algorithms allow pitch shifting up to 5 semitones on average or stretching the length by 130%.[TheDSPDimension].
