Tutorial 5 - Formants

Example 6

Formants are like filters, for this program, except the frequencies are fixed instead of being relative to the pitch and no parameters are scalable. (They would not be fixed if scalable.) So, parameters that are octave offsets from the first harmonic (usually the pitch) for filters are specific frequencies for formants.

# Example  6 starts on the next line --

file ex06

voice ex06 Wv 8 28 103
set
formant lowpass 1000 -6
split 4
condition > 0

# Example  6 ends on the previous line --

Here the cutoff is 1000 Hertz regardless of pitch. The -6 is -6 dba per octave like the filter

The lowpass_f type is not available for formants.
