FMTRACK
NAME
fmtrack - track formant peaks and generate synthesizer control data
SYNOPSIS
fmtrack
(-i item) (-v) file
DESCRIPTION
fmtrack
converts a set of spectral peaks to synthesizer control data in which
the frequency, amplitude and bandwidth of the first four formants are
specified every 10ms. Formant tracking proceeds in three passes:
Pass 1 does primary reassignment of peaks,
Pass 2 picks up basic tracks, Pass 3 "creeps" along existing tracks adding
to ends. If a Fx contour is available in the file, it is used to create
the Fx parameter in the SY item, otherwise a monotone of 100Hz is inserted.
Options
and their meanings are:
-I
Identify program and exit.
-i item
Select input item.
-v
Take voicing decision from FX data. Default: use "flag" value in FM data.
INPUT ITEMS
12.xx
Any raw formant estimates item.
4.xx
Any Fundamental frequency contour.
OUTPUT ITEMS
7
Formant tracked synthesizer control data.
