This software package consists of a set of phase vocoder signal processing routines and related shell scripts. It is designed to help transform and manipulate sounds.
PVC 4.0 is primarily a port to OSX, which enables it to run on Apple computers. Additionally, this version also includes the sound file conversion utility, SOX, developed by Lance Norskog. The software also has several shell script utilities that help users convert files quickly and easily between NeXT/Sun and AIFF file formats. When it comes to compiling the software, users have two options- 'Make all' option that will compile PVC and CMUSIC gen routines along with SOX. Alternatively, users can compile each of the routines separately. Once compiled, users can install the software using the 'Make install' command, which will copy all previously compiled binaries to the destination directory along with the sound file conversion and information utilities.
Overall, PVC is a sophisticated software program that is ideal for users who want to work with phase vocoder technology in a UNIX environment. The latest version brings several new features and routines, making it much easier to work with audio files. Moreover, its compatibility with SOX and Apple devices makes it one of the most versatile audio processing software programs available in the market.
