Here are the two Perl programs I use to generate the sounds on this web page.
- playlines.pl, generates synthetic spectra made up
of Gaussian emission lines and power-law or black body continuum, and converts them
into sounds.
- specsound.pl, Reads in an ASCII spectrum and converts it
into a sound.
Both programs rely on the MATH::FFT perl module available
here.
You will also need the SoX utility to convert the resultant ASCII waveforms into .wav
files. SoX is available here.
Details of how the programs work and how they should be used are available by following the
paper link on the toolbar or clicking here.
