1. An audio signal processing apparatus comprising:

  • memory means for storing an input audio signal;

    memory address control means;

    pitch extracting means for calculating an audio pitch and power information from the audio signal read out from said memory means;

    address phase management means receiving a zero pitch and a fixed pitch for use in outputting a memory address sample set providing an auto-correlation peak in a selected time duration of the audio signal in response to the audio pitch and the power information from said pitch extracting means and includingpitch detecting means for detecting whether the audio pitch from said pitch extracting means is a final pitch formed of a number of samples for use in memory address correction in response to a memory address from said memory address control means for outputting a second memory address sample set based upon the results of detection andpitch selection means for selecting a final memory address sample set output from the address phase management means to the memory address control means using the second memory address sample set from said pitch detecting means; and

    wherein said memory address control means calculates a memory address for said memory means using the memory address sample set from said address phase management means.
