Description

These units will print orchestra init-values, or produce graphic display of orchestra control signals and audio signals. Uses X11 windows if enabled, else (or if -g flag is set) displays are approximated in ASCII characters.

Syntax

dispfft xsig, iprd, iwsiz [, iwtyp] [, idbout] [, iwtflg]

Initialization

iprd -- the period of display in seconds.

iwsiz -- size of the input window in samples. A window of iwsiz points will produce a Fourier transform of iwsiz/2 points, spread linearly in frequency from 0 to sr/2. iwsiz must be a power of 2, with a minimum of 16 and a maximum of 4096. The windows are permitted to overlap.

iwtyp (optional, default=0) -- window type. 0 = rectangular, 1 = Hanning. The default value is 0 (rectangular).

idbout (optional, default=0) -- units of output for the Fourier coefficients. 0 = magnitude, 1 = decibels. The default is 0 (magnitude).

iwtflg (optional, default=0) -- wait flag. If non-zero, each display is held until released by the user. The default value is 0 (no wait).

Performance

dispfft -- displays the Fourier Transform of an audio or control signal (asig or ksig) every iprd seconds using the Fast Fourier Transform method.

Examples

Here is an example of the dispfft opcode. It uses the file dispfft.csd and beats.wav.

<CsoundSynthesizer>
<CsOptions>
; Select audio/midi flags here according to platform
; Audio out   Audio in
-odac           -iadc    ;;;RT audio I/O
; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
; -o dispfft.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform
</CsOptions>
<CsInstruments>

; Initialize the global variables.
sr = 44100
kr = 4410
