Fork Code: Formant filter using the Vowel Quark

name

code content

// a function to get the n loudest partials for a formant filter using Klank and Vowel

// needs the Vowel quark:

"Vowel".include;

// tenor, for instance
a = "aeiou".as(Array).collect { |x| Vowel(x.asSymbol, \tenor) };

// function for threshold
(
f = { |vowel, thresh = 0.3|
	var freqs = (40..10000).collect { |x| x + 0.5.rand2 };
	var result = [];
	freqs.do { |freq|
		var amp = vowel.ampAt(freq);
		if(amp > thresh) {
			result = result.add([freq, amp])
		}
	};
	result.size.postln;
	result.flop
};
)
// or alternatively, for number of partials
(
g = { |vowel, numPartials = 30|
	var freqs = (40..10000).collect { |x| x + 0.5.rand2 };
	var result = [];
	freqs.do { |freq|
		var amp = vowel.ampAt(freq);
		result = result.add([freq, amp])
	};

	result = result.sort { |a, b| a[1] > b[1] }.keep(numPartials);

	result.flop
};
)

// some examples

Ndef(\vow, { Klank.ar(`(f.(a[0], 0.7) ++ 0.2), Impulse.ar(MouseX.kr(1, 1000, 1))) * 0.001 }).play;
Ndef(\vow, { Klank.ar(`(f.(a[0], 0.3) ++ 0.2), Impulse.ar(MouseX.kr(1, 1000, 1))) * 0.001 }).play;
Ndef(\vow, { Klank.ar(`(f.(a[2], 0.7) ++ 0.2), Impulse.ar(MouseX.kr(1, 1000, 1))) * 0.001 }).play;
Ndef(\vow, { Klank.ar(`(f.(a[2], 0.3) ++ 0.2), Impulse.ar(MouseX.kr(1, 1000, 1))) * 0.001 }).play;

// use for instance to get the 42 loudest partials, for each vowel
z = a.collect { |x| g.(x, 42) }.flopDeep(1);
