Subject: (CSAA) GFFT v1.12
Status: RO
TITLE
GFFT
VERSION
1.12
AUTHOR
Charles P. Peterson (Charles_P_Peterson@fcircus.sat.tx.us)
DESCRIPTION
GFFT is an audio spectrum analysis program with many features. By
operating from stored sound sample files, it can provide high
resolution and accuracy, and has no specific CPU performance
requirement.
Audio spectrum analysis allows you to see the frequency content of a
sound file and how it varies over time. This can be used to help
understand sounds such as acoustical instruments and speech,
and also to evaluate and adjust loudspeakers and other sound
reproducing equipment.
GFFT accepts 8, 12, or 16-bit data in in IFF 8SVX, AIFF, and AVR
formats, or in unformatted files. It can also accept data points
entered through a console in floating-point. The number of frequency
bins and smoothing points is limited only by available memory; there
is no limit to the length of the sound data which can be analyzed and
averaged.
Both a Workbench GUI and a CLI interface are provided. There is
built-in help for both interfaces using a help file that can also be
read as a user manual.
High quality spectrum plots can be produced on screen, plotter, or
printer, or saved to Postscript or TeX files. Spectral data can also
be output in text form to a console or file.
GFFT can perform a 2D (Amplitude vs Frequency) or 3D (Amplitude vs
Frequency vs Time) analysis. It allows the selection of logarithmic X
and/or Y axes, the dB scaling of X, and arbitrary 3D rotation. It can
show multiple spectra in the same plot, or append spectral data bands
from earlier sessions.
There are 8 selectable data window types, including Blackman-Harris 92
dB, which has very low sidelobe artifacts. A special weighting can be
applied for pink noise testing. Smoothing, calibration, ranging, and
quantization are also available.
HOST NAME
GFFT is available for anonymous FTP on Aminet sites such as
ftp.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4).
DIRECTORY
/pub/aminet/misc/sci/
FILE NAMES
gfft-1.12.lha (302760 bytes)
gfft-1.12.readme (1869 bytes)
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Workbench 1.3 (V34) or higher and 1.5M total RAM. Will run on some
systems with 1M RAM with reduced capabilities. Recommended: Workbench
2.0 (V37) or higher, 3M or more RAM, and harddrive or second floppy.
Larger amounts of memory will enable you to analyze using more
frequency bins.
Gnuplot 3.0 or higher is required; Gnuplot 3.4 or higher is required
for the Hidden3D feature (only). Gnuplot is available on Aminet (see
below for an example) and on some Fish disks and CD-ROMs.
Aminet (e.g. ftp.wustl.edu 128.252.135.4)
pub/aminet/util/gnu/gnufit12gp35.lha (Gnuplot 3.5)
pub/aminet/util/gnu/gnuplot-3.5.lha (Gnuplot 3.5)
AmigaLibDisk (also GoldFish and FrozenFish CD-ROMs)
AmigaLibDisk 701 (Gnuplot 3.2)
PRICE
GFFT itself is free; you do not have to pay for using it.
Donations are encouraged to help support future development.
An e-mail message or postcard sent to the author will provide moral
support and will be appreciated even in the absence of a monetary
contribution.
Additional support services are also available, including packaged
'Deluxe' distributions:
Copy of latest GFFT 1.x Deluxe Distribution (with additional documents,
screen shots, and extras--1 disk)............$15 ($20 outside USA)
Copy of latest GFFT 1.x Expanded Deluxe Distribution (with
Gnuplot, POST, notes & more--5 disks)........$25 ($40 outside USA)
Purchasing either Deluxe Distribution or making a minimum $15 donation
will entitle user to 1 hour of support from the author within one year
and notification when the next release becomes available. Additional
support is available for $15/hour. It is also possible to make a
contingent donation to encourage the development of a specific
enhancement. See the README file in the program archive for further
details.
DISTRIBUTABILITY
GFFT is Copyright (C) 1994 Charles P. Peterson and is distributed
under a GNU General Public License. Full SAS/C source code for GFFT
is included in all distributions. The 'Network' distribution of GFFT
available on Aminet contains only GFFT and freely distributable
documents.
The 'Deluxe' distributions (available only on disk from the author)
include additional material which is not freely distributable.
OTHER
Two binaries are provided; one for 68000 and one for 68020 w/68881 or
better.
GNUPLOT is invoked and controlled by GFFT. You do not have to learn
how to use GNUPLOT except to fully utilize the Postscript and TeX
output options.
GFFT is not currently a part of project GNU and the Free Software
Foundation does not necessarily know anything about it.
At this time, GFFT is only available for Amiga.
Other programmers are encouraged to read and learn from the GFFT
source code and contribute enhancements or ports if they are able to
do so. Income from GFFT donations may be shared with program
contributors.
The GFFT Network Distribution may be included with other freeware and
commercial products under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
There is no stated limit as to what may be charged for transferring a
copy of GFFT either by itself or in combination with other works,
products, or services.
