Software for spectral Analysis, Editing, and synthesis.
Michael Klingbeil · 2005
This paper describes the design and development of new software for spectral analysis, editing and resynthesis. Analysis is accomplished using a variation of the traditional McAulay-Quatieri technique of peak interpolation and partial tracking. Linear prediction of the partial amplitudes and frequencies is used to determine the best continuations for sinusoidal tracks. A high performance user interface supports flexible selection and immediate manipulation of analysis data, cut and paste, and unlimited undo/redo. Hundreds of simultaneous partials can be synthesized in real-time and documents may contain thousands of individual partials dispersed in time without degrading performance. A variety of standard file formats are supported for the import and export of analysis data. 1.
