import phaseLock from '@audio/shift-pvoc-lock'

Laroche-Dolson peak-locked phase vocoder. Peaks scatter to shifted bins; non-peak bins lock their phase relative to the nearest peak, keeping the vertical phase relationship inside each sinusoidal lobe intact.

phaseLock(audio, { ratio: 1.5 })

Preserves phase coherence around peaks, partial structure.
Destroys transients (still smeared, less than vocoder), formants.

Use when: General music — the "try this first" phase vocoder.
Not for: Music with drums (use transient), voice (use formant).

Stream

let write = phaseLock({ ratio: 1.5 })
let out = write(inputBlock)
let tail = write()  // flush

phaseLock streams per-frame: each write(chunk) call renormalizes and emits audio as soon as a frame completes, and re-chunking the same input differently reproduces the batch output byte for byte.

Data

Input is a Float32Array (mono) or an array of Float32Array channels ([left, right, ...]) — anything else throws TypeError. ratio also accepts a function t => ratio (seconds from stream start) or a Float32Array breakpoint envelope (resampled across the input via ratioDuration, default the input's own duration) for time-varying pitch.
