VCALIGN

NAME

vcalign - align two vocoder signals to transfer annotations or fx

SYNOPSIS

vcalign (-i item) (-f) (-m minimum_dur_ms) reffile file

DESCRIPTION

vcalign performs a non-linear time alignment between a vocoder signal in a reference file ("reffile") and a vocoder signal in a destination file (assumed to be of the same token) and transfers from reference to destination either (i) annotations with appropriate changes in positions and lengths or (ii) a fundamental frequency contour.

Options and their meanings are:

-I Identify program and version.

-i item Select input item numbers.

-f Transfer FX rather than AN.

-m min_dur_ms Specify the minimum allowed duration of a mapped annotation in ms. This prevent annotations being squashed to nothing.
