centroid

Calculate the spectral centroid of an audio signal on a given trigger.

Syntax

kcent centroid asig, ktrig, ifftsize

Initialization

ifftsize -- fftsize. Non pow-of-two values are converted to the next pow-of-two not smaller than ifftsize.

Performance

kcent -- the spectral centroid in Hz

asig -- an input audio signal

ktrig -- 1 to calculate a new centroid, 0 to skip the process (and output previous value).

Examples

Here is an example of the centroid opcode. It uses the file centroid.csd.

; Select audio/midi flags here according to platform
-odac     ;;;realtime audio out
;-iadc    ;;;uncomment -iadc if realtime audio input is needed too
; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
; -o centroid.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform
