pitch control
Tone height regulation
Pitch control refers to mechanisms or techniques for adjusting pitch—whether the angle of an aircraft's nose relative to the horizon, the rotational speed of a propeller or turbine blade, or the playback speed of audio affecting its musical pitch.
In aviation, pitch control adjusts the aircraft's climb or descent: The pilot adjusted pitch control to level off at cruising altitude.
In audio production, pitch control allows DJs and engineers to match tempos or correct vocal tuning.
