IntensityTier

One of the types of objects in Praat. An IntensityTier object represents a time-stamped intensity contour, i.e., it contains a series of (time, intensity) points. The intensity values are in dB.

For examples, see Source-filter synthesis.

## IntensityTier commands

Creation:

  From scratch:
  • Create IntensityTier...
  • IntensityTier: Add point...
  Copy from another object:
  • Intensity: To IntensityTier: trivial copying of linearly spaced points.
  • Intensity & PointProcess: To IntensityTier...: copying interpolated values at specified points.
  • PointProcess: Up to IntensityTier...: equal values at specified points.

Viewing and editing:

  • IntensityTierEditor

Conversion:

  • IntensityTier: Down to PointProcess: copy times.

Synthesis (see Source-filter synthesis):

  • Sound & IntensityTier: Multiply

Queries:

  • Get low index from time...
  • Get high index from time...
  • Get nearest index from time...

Modification:

  • Remove point...
  • Remove point near...
  • Remove points between...
  • IntensityTier: Add point...
