SPECTRAL > RESHAPE > SPREAD >

SUMMARY
Introduces noise into the spectrum by spreading the spectral peaks.
The program takes an average of the spectral contour and applies this to every channel, depending on the value of spread.


MODES
 1. Frequency-based extraction of spectral envelope
 2. Pitch-based extraction of spectral envelope

PARAMETERS

 channels - Mode 1:  No. of frequency channels per point used to extract spectral contour (fewer more accurate)
Range: 1-100
 bands - Mode 2: No. of pitch bands per octave used to extract spectral contour (greater more accurate)
Range:  1-12
 [spread]  Degree of spreading of spectrum  
Range: 0-1, default 1. T-V
 
NOTES
Like Exaggerate (widening peaks) and Average, this is another way of introducing distortion into the spectrum. The effect can, however, be time-varied.
