pvshift

pvshift — Shift the frequency components of a pv stream, stretching/compressing its spectrum.

Description

Shift the frequency components of a pv stream, stretching/compressing its spectrum.

Syntax

fsig pvshift fsigin, kshift, klowest[, kkeepform, igain, kcoefs]

Performance

fsig -- output pv stream

fsigin -- input pv stream

kshift -- shift amount (in Hz, positive or negative).

klowest -- lowest frequency to be shifted.

kkeepform -- attempt to keep input signal formants; 0: do not keep formants; 1: keep formants using a liftered cepstrum method; 2: keep formants by using a true envelope method (defaults to 0).

kgain -- amplitude scaling (defaults to 1).

kcoefs -- number of cepstrum coefs used in formant preservation (defaults to 80).

This opcode will shift the components of a pv stream, from a certain frequency upwards, up or down a fixed amount (in Hz). It can be used to transform a harmonic spectrum into an inharmonic one. The kkeepform flag can be used to try and preserve formants for possibly interesting and unusual spectral modifications.

[Warning] Warning

It is unsafe to use the same f-variable for both input and output of pvs opcodes. Using the same one might lead to undefined behavior on some opcodes. Use a different one on the left and right sides of the opcode.

Examples

Example 698. Example

asig  in                                 ; get the signal in

fsig  pvsanal   asig, 1024, 256, 1024, 1 ; analyse it
ftps  pvshift   fsig, 100, 0             ; add 100 Hz to each component
atps  pvsynth   ftps                     ; synthesise it


Depending on the input, this will transform a pitched sound into an inharmonic, bell-like sound.

Here is an example of the use of the pvshift opcode. It uses the file pvshift.csd.
