Week8 - Sound transformations

Help Center

Topics covered: Filtering and morphing using the short-time Fourier transform;
frequency and time scaling using the sinusoidal model; frequency transformations using
the harmonic plus residual model; time scaling and morphing using the harmonic plus
stochastic model. Demonstrations of the various transformation interfaces of the smstools package and of Audacity. Presentation of the stftTransformations,
sineTransformations and hpsTransformations functions implemented in the sms-tools
package, explaining how to use them.
Work to be done: 1 quiz, 1 peer assessed assignment.

A8-Sound transformations: This is a peer

assessed assignment where you will use the
HPS model to creatively transform sounds.

Useful forum topics for this week

Lectures week 8: Questions/Discussion
Peer Assessment week 8:

You will first perform a natural sounding

transformation on a speech sound and then
you will select a sound of your choice and do
a "creative" transformation. You will do the
transformations using the existing sms-tools
GUI. No programming needed.

already, you can use the link above to
evaluate your peers.

A second run of A8 is available for those who

could not submit A8 on time. It is a makeup
assignment. Those who have submitted A8 in
the first run need not have to submit it again.
