gtf

Apply a gammatone filter of various orders to an audio signal.

Syntax

aout gtf ain, kfreq, idecay[, iorder, iphase]

Initialization

idecay -- rate of decay

iorder -- (optional) Order of filter in rangs 1 to 10 defaulting to 4.

iphase -- (optional) Phase output, defaulting to zero.

Performance

asig -- audio signal to be filtered.

kfreq -- central frequency of filter in Hertz.

The gammatone filter is commonly used in models of the auditory system. The algorithm is based on Martin Cooke's Ph.D work (Cooke, 1993) using the base-band impulse invariant transformation. See http://staffwww.dcs.shef.ac.uk/people/N.Ma/resources/gammatone/

Examples

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