pvsmorph

Performs morphing (or interpolation) between two source fsigs.

Syntax

fsig pvsmorph fsig1, fsig2, kampint, kfrqint

Performance

The operation of this opcode is similar to that of pvinterp (q.v.), except in using fsig_s rather than analysis files, and the absence of spectral envelope preservation. The amplitudes and frequencies of _fsig1 are interpolated with those of fsig2, depending on the values of kampint and kfrqint, respectively. These range between 0 and 1, where 0 means fsig1 and 1, fsig2. Anything in between will interpolate amps and/or freqs of the two fsigs.

With this opcode, morphing can be performed on real-time audio input, by using pvsanal to generate fsig1 and fsig2. These must have the same format.

⚠ Warning

It is unsafe to use the same f-variable for both input and output of pvs opcodes. Using the same one might lead to undefined behavior on some opcodes. Use a different one on the left and right sides of the opcode.
