I second this! Of course, living in the most isolated state capital in
the world it means I can no longer be grumpy on the list ever again,
until I visit europe/USA again and meet some of you grumpy jerks. :(

Actually I mean :) not :(

Also, I mean "great fellows" not jerks. ;)

Re: [PD] frequency shifter

2006-11-24 Thread Charles Henry

if you could help me with the math required, i would be very grateful.


I think what they're talking about here (single side-band modulation)
works this way.  We take our original spectrum which has two sides,
each the conjugate of the other.
/\   /\
___/\/_\|/_\/\___

we get rid of one side, to get the complex representation

 /\
__|/_\/\___

In the time domain this is a complex valued signal.  To shift all the
frequencies by a certain amount we convolve in the frequency domain by
an impulse given by the fourier transform of e^(2*pi*i*f)  where f is
the frequency to shift by.  This looks like, in the frequency domain:

|
__|__|

Convolution in the frequency domain (with a single sided spectrum)
shifts all the frequencies to the right.  Conv. in the frequency
domain is the same as multiplication in the time domain.  So we can do
this operation as complex multiplication of our two complex signals.
Resulting spectrum

 /\
__|__/_\/\_

Then, just throw away the imaginary part and multiply by two, and
there you have a real-valued signal.
Let's see here...I got a little patch put together for demonstration
purposes, using hilbert~
Don't rightly know why it won't work well with the osc~ set to 0?

[PD] grump moratorium

2006-11-24 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner


I was just chatting about the pd list with David Merrill, and he  
brought up a good point.  Basically, some of the sarcasm and  
grumpiness will surely scare away many newbies from this community.


As a sometime grump, I would like to call for a grump moratorium.  Of  
course, I can't expect a complete lack of grumpiness and sarcasm, so  
I think it can be regulated by a simple rule: only be grumpy or  
sarcastic to people you have met in person.


Just my two bits...

It's simpler than you might think... Take the number that is providing
the frequency for the first triangle oscillator and add (or subtract)
175 and 224 to (from) it and use this number to set the frequency of the
other two. I'm not sure which direction the frequency shifter is
supposed to go in this diagram, so try either adding or subtracting.
Also what is not clear is if the original triangle wave is heard in your
diagram, or only the two pitch shifted ones, so either you will only
hear the frequency-shifted pair or you will hear all three mixed with
your two sinus waves.

[number box\   <---set master frequency
|  |  |
| [+ 175] [+ 224]  <---set shifted frequencies
|  |  |
|  | [triangle~]
| [triangle~]
[triangle~]

Where [triangle~] is an abstraction you have made which produces a nice,
bandwidth-limited triangle wave ;-)

If my cheap ASCII art doesn't come through, let me know and I'll be less
lazy and patch it...

Hope this is clear enough,
d.

(around line 880) from
   canvas $name.c -width $width -height $height -background white \

if you know the f/sec of the clip and do not need the audio which it

just don't use the auto play function but use a counter to display

the 2rd outlet of [pix_film] will give you the total number of frames

Re: [PD] frequency shifter

2006-11-24 Thread derek holzer
If all you want to do is generate two different simple waveforms that 
are shifted 175 and 224 Hz from the original, I would simply use two 
more triangle oscillators in place of the pitch shifters, and set the 
frequencies using a bit of math based on the frequency of the first 
triangle oscillator. I suspect this diagram could represent a hardware 
synth, where three oscillators is about the max you can get without a 
huge modular system.


Digital pitch shifting uses either FFT or other windowed procedures 
which sometimes doesn't always transpose a sound that smoothly and 
without some artifacts.

Frequency shifting (adding each partial's frequency by an offset) isn't
the same as pitch shifting (multiplying each partial's frequency by a
ratio).

The objects hilbert~ and complex-mod~ will help you, as they helped me
