## pvscent

pvscent — Calculate the spectral centroid of a signal.

## Description

Calculate the spectral centroid of a signal from its discrete Fourier transform.

## Syntax

    kcent pvscent fsig

    acent pvscent fsig

## Performance

kcent -- the spectral centroid

acent -- the spectral centroid

fsig -- an input pv stream

## Examples

Here is an example of the use of the pvscent opcode. It uses the file pvscent.csd.

Example 817. Example of the pvscent opcode.

See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.
