soundgen: Sound Synthesis and Acoustic Analysis

Parametric source-filter synthesis of harmonic-noise signals, such as animal vocalizations and human voice, with control over pitch, formants, noise, amplitude modulation, nonlinear phenomena, and morphing. General signal processing tools for audio analysis and manipulation: pitch tracking, formant and vocal tract length estimation, reassigned and auditory spectrograms, modulation spectra and psychoacoustic roughness, self-similarity and surprisal, audio segmentation, pitch and formant shifting, etc. Includes four interactive web apps for audio synthesis, annotation, formant analysis, and manually correcting pitch contours.
