Audio Spectrum Height-Map
Brief Description
Generates an image based on the Spectrum of an Audio Source. This is useful to be used as a Displacement Map with the Displace modifier.

Pixel aspect / par | Float | 1 | |
Audio Source / source | Audio | - | |
Channel / channel_index | Choice | Average Channels | Whether to use a specific audio channel to compute the spectrum or to average the channels - Average Channels |
Temporal Radius / temporal_radius | Float | 0 | Define the temporal window radius over which the spectrum is calculated. The higher the value, the smoother the spectrum will be, but to the cost of a longer calculation time. Note that using a large temporal window can make the past and future audio participate in the output, which can lead to a perceived delay or advance. N.B: the radius of the window is internally clamped so that it can never be smaller than the minimum number of samples required by Bands Count. e.g: If the audio is at 48Khz and Band Count is 8192, the minimum temporal radius is 48000/8192/2, which is 0.085 |
Bands Count / nb_bands | Choice | 1024 | The number of frequency ranges (or Bands) calculated in output. Note that frequencies always vary between 0 and half the sample rate of the audio signal. - 1024 - 2048 - 4096 - 8192 - 16384 - 32768 |
Axis Type / axis_type | Choice | Logarithmic | Whether the spectrum is displayed in a logarithmic or linear scale. Since most frequencies are rather low, setting it to logarithmic gives more room to the lower frequencies. Note that the Frequency curve is not adapted when changing the axis type. - Linear - Logarithmic |
Orientation / orientation | Choice | Vertical Frequencies | - Horizontal Frequencies: Frequencies are laid out horizontally from lower to higher frequency. The Y axis contains frequencies evolution over time - Vertical Frequencies: Frequencies are laid out vertically from lower to higher frequency. The X axis contains frequencies evolution over time |
Central Time Mode / timeMode | Choice | Current Time | Whether to use the current time or a custom time to define the time at which the spectrum is calculated - Custom - Current Time |
Custom Central Time / central_time | Time | 0 | |
Steps / num_steps | Float | 1 | The number of spectrum averaged over the Temporal Window to compute the final spectrum |
