trhighest

Extracts the highest-frequency track from a streaming track input signal.

The trhighest opcode takes an input containg TRACKS pv streaming signals (as generated, for instance by partials) and outputs only the highest track. In addition it outputs two k-rate signals, corresponding to the frequency and amplitude of the highest track signal.

Syntax

fsig, kfr, kamp trhighest fin1, kscal

Performance

fsig -- output pv stream in TRACKS format

kfr -- frequency (in Hz) of the highest-frequency track

kamp -- amplitude of the highest-frequency track

fin -- input pv stream in TRACKS format.

kscal -- amplitude scaling of output.

Examples

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

The example above shows partial tracking of an ifd-analysis signal, extraction of the highest frequency and resynthesis.
