## Detailed Description

Four formant synthesis instrument.

This instrument contains an excitation singing wavetable (looping wave with random and periodic vibrato, smoothing on frequency, etc.), excitation noise, and four sweepable complex resonances.

Measured formant data is included, and enough data is there to support either parallel or cascade synthesis. In the floating point case cascade synthesis is the most natural so that's what you'll find here.

Control Change Numbers:

- Voiced/Unvoiced Mix = 2
- Vowel/Phoneme Selection = 4
- Vibrato Frequency = 11
- Vibrato Gain = 1
- Loudness (Spectral Tilt) = 128

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

stk::VoicForm::VoicForm | ( | void |  | ) |

Class constructor.

An StkError will be thrown if the rawwave path is incorrectly set.

## Member Function Documentation

StkFrames & stk::VoicForm::tick | ( | StkFrames & | frames,
|  | unsigned int | channel = `0`
| ) |  |
| inlinevirtual

Fill a channel of the StkFrames object with computed outputs.

The `channel` argument must be less than the number of channels in the StkFrames argument (the first channel is specified by 0). However, range checking is only performed if STK_DEBUG is defined during compilation, in which case an out-of-range value will trigger an StkError exception.

Implements stk::Instrmnt.

134 unsigned int nChannels = lastFrame_.channels();

136 if ( channel > frames.channels() - nChannels ) {
137 oStream_ << "VoicForm::tick(): channel and StkFrames arguments are incompatible!";
138 handleError( StkError::FUNCTION_ARGUMENT );
139 }
140 #endif

142 StkFloat *samples = &frames[channel];
143 unsigned int j, hop = frames.channels() - nChannels;
144 if ( nChannels == 1 ) {
145 for ( unsigned int i=0; i<frames.frames(); i++, samples += hop )
146 *samples++ = tick();
147 }
148 else {
149 for ( unsigned int i=0; i<frames.frames(); i++, samples += hop ) {
150 *samples++ = tick();
