MATLAB Primer
Before you start, you need to get familiar with MATLAB. Please read MATLAB Primer at the following page: http://neural.cs.nthu.edu.tw/jang/demo/demoDownload. asp Exercise: 1. Please plot two curves y=sin(2*t) and y=cos(3*t) in the same figure. 2. Please plot x vs. y where x=sin(2*t) and y=cos(3*t).

To Read a Wave File

To read a MS .wav file (PCM format only): wavread
y = wavread(file) [] = wavread(file, [n1, n2]) [y, fs, nbits, opts] = wavread(file) [] = wavread(file, n) [y, fs, nbits] = wavread(file)
If the wav file is stereo, y will be a two-column matrix.

To Read a Wav File

Example (wavRead01.m):
[y, fs] = wavread('singapore.wav'); plot((1:length(y))/fs, y); xlabel('Time in seconds'); ylabel('Amplitude');
Exercise
1. Plot the waveform of rrrrr.wav. Use MATLABs zoom button to find the consecutive curling R occurs. 2. Plot the two-channel waveform in flanger.wav.

wavplay(y, fs) wavplay(y, fs, async): non-blocking call wavplay(y, fs, sync): blocking call sound(y, fs) soundsc(): autoscale the sound
Example (wavPlay01.m)
[y, fs] = wavread(rrrrr.wav); wavplay(y, fs);

To Write a Wave File

To write MS wave files: wavwrite
wavwrite(y, fs, nbits, wavefile) nbits must be 8 or 16. y must have two columns for stereo data. Amplitude values outside [-1,1] are clipped.
Example (wavWrite01.m)
[y, fs] = wavread(rrrrr.wav); wavwrite(y, fs*1.2, 8, testout.wav); !start testout.wav
Exercise
Try out the above example.

To Record a Wave File

To record wave files:
1. Use the recording utility under WinXP. 2. Use wavrecord under MATLAB. 3. Use From Wave Device under Simulink, under DSP Blocksets/Platform Specific IO/Windows (Win32)
Example
1. Go ahead and try WinXP recording utility! 2. Try wavRecord01.m 3. Try slWavFileRecord01.mdl
Exercise:

Changing Wave Playback Param.

To control the play of a sound:
Normal: wavplay(y, fs) High volume: wavplay(2*y, fs) Low volume: wavplay(0.5*y, fs) High pitch (and faster): wavplay(y, 1.2*fs) Low pitch (and slower): wavplay(y, 0.8*fs)
Exercise:
Try wavPlay01.m and trace the code. Create wavPlay02.m such that you can record your own voice on the fly.

Speech Production
How is speech produced?
Speech is produced when air is forced from the lungs through the vocal cords (glottis) and along the vocal tract.
Analogy to System Theory:

Input: air forced into the vocal cords Output: media vibration System (or filter): vocal tract Pitch frequency: frequency of the input Formant frequency: resonant frequency

Source Filter Model of Speech

The source-filter model of speech production:
Speech is split into a rapidly varying excitation signal and a slowly varying filter. The envelope of the power spectra contains the vocal tract information.
28
Two important characteristics of the model are fundamental (pitch) frequency (f0) and formants 2010/8/26 (F1, F2, F3, ) 28

Formant Analysis
Characteristics of formants:
Formants are perceptually defined. The corresponding physical property is the frequencies of resonances of the vocal tract. Formant analysis is useful as the position of the first two formants pretty much identifies a vowel.
Computation methods:

Peak picking on the smoothed spectrum Peak picking on the LP spectrum Factoring for the LP roots Fitting of mixture of Gaussians
