pitch bend

基本解释

The sales pitch is not for one of the new electric cars from General Motors, Nissan or Renault, but for a 1905 Victoria Phaeton from Studebaker of South Bend, Indiana.
但这可不是某款通用汽车、尼桑或雷诺新近推出的电动汽车，而是印第安娜州South Bend市的Studebaker公司在1905年推出Victoria Phaeton车时的宣传广告语。
UC San Diego created a trumpet that not only detects the exact pitch being played, but can bend that pitch in real time to hit the proper note—a sort of auto-tune for the brass section.
加州大学圣地亚哥分校小队发明了一种小号，不仅可以检测小号演奏时的精确音高，还能实时将音高对应至合适的音符——类似于一种铜管乐器的自动调音装置。
