Hello, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but ATS 1.0 has just been officially released,
ATS is a spectral modeling system based on a sinusoidal plus critical-band noise decomposition.. http://www.dxarts.washington.edu/ats/
Anyways, I have written a pd external (atsread) that reads data from ATS analysis files and returns that data (pairs of frequencies and amplitudes) for general purpose use. It also returns noise information (if there is any).
download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/atsa
it is, I admit, quite CPU intensive, if anyone has suggestions for optimization tell me and I'll look into them.
Hopefully some of you will find this external useful.
