MULACLAB Graphical interface for audio processing using frame multipliers
Usage: mulaclab;
mulaclab(filename);
mulaclab(signal, fs);
Input parameters:
filename : File name of the signal to process.
signal : Signal to process, which must be a vector.
fs : Sampling frequency of the signal.
When starting `mulaclab` without any input parameter, the user is asked to
choose the processed signal, named original signal in the interface.
Possible signals are `.wav` files and `.mat` files containing decompositions
preliminarily saved using the `mulaclab` interface. The interface only
handles monochannel signals. So for multichannel `.wav` files, the first
channel is used as the original signal.
Optionnaly, the file name of the original signal can be directly passed as
an input parameter. The original signal can also be directly passed as a
vector along its sampling frequency.
After choosing the original signal, the user is presented with the main
interface. This interface is divided in two areas:
* The right part of the figure contains the visualizations, which
represent the spectrograms of the original and modified signals.
The 'Original signal' visualization is used to display the original
signal spectrogram and to graphically define the symbol of the frame
multiplier that will be applied on this signal.
The 'Overview of original signal' visualization also represents the
original signal spectrogram and can be used for fast zooming and moving
of the other visualizations. Zooming and moving is controlled by mouse
interaction with the white rectangle displayed on this visualization.
The 'Modified signal' visualization is used to display the spectrogram
of the modified signal after application of the multiplier.
It is possible to hide the 'Overview of original signal' and 'Modified
signal' visulizations using the 'Visualization' menu.
* The left part of the figure contains panels with tools for user
interaction.
The 'Audioplayer' panel contains the controls for audio playback of the
original and modified signal.
The 'Visualization' panel contains tools used to adapt the display
of the visualizations.
The 'Selection' panel contains tools and information concerning the
multilayered selection used to graphically specify the symbol of the
multiplier.
Known MATLAB limitations:
* When using MATLAB on Linux with multiple screens, there might be a
MATLAB bug preventing the display of the multiplier symbol. This can be
solved by docking the figure.
* When using a MATLAB version prior to 7.3 (R2006b), the rectangle
displayed on the 'Overview of original signal' visualization is not
automatically updated when using the zoom and pan tools of the 'Zoom'
panel. It can be manually updated by re-clicking on the currently
selected tool or by changing the current tool.
