[CLAM] synthesizing SMS models in Pd

[Rich E]

Xavier,

Its starting to get clearer, but I still have a couple questions as I am
definetaly not doing the resynthesis correct yet (I am getting a periodic
pitch.. not sound).

The analysis window, which by default is a BlackmanHarris92
> with a 75% overlap. You need to multiply by the

sorry for having to ask, but what is an SFFT?  If it is the same as an STFT
or FFT, at which point do I do this?  I was under the impression from one of
Serra's publications that all I had to do with resynthesize the residual
FFT, but don't have to do any more FFTing.

If this is an IFFT, my attempt is on the right track, but I am still not
getting a noise sound.  I am windowing the residual IFFT by a 75% overlap
and multiplying it by the BlackmanHarris92 window, then re-windowing the
result with a 50% overlap and multiplying by a triangle window.  But my
result is pitched, and this changes if I change the overlap.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

regards,
rich
