How do you split an audio file into multiple parts using MATLAB ? Like I have an audio file composed of ten-twenty notes of a Piano, I need to split it into individual notes and store each note in a separate variable . Is it possible to do this with MATLAB ,if so how ? Can anyone please help me on this ?
If you want to do the splitting visually you can try "Simple Audio Editor" available in the file exchange.
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/19873-simple-audio-editor
I am the author of this program. Let me know if something does not work with that.
You can also try a free audio editor like audacity and export individual pieces to audio files. You can read each piece in MATLAB separately.
If you are looking to achieve this automatically you might need to ask this question in a Signal processing group.

I am a rather new user and I am running a simulation experiment. I would like to learn how to write output data to file. I am considering buying the the Big Book of Simulation Modeling which is based on AnyLogic 6. Are there major differences between AnyLogic 6 and 8 in reading/writing data to file? Unfortunately, they haven't released that chapter for the current version of the book that is online. Are there other resources about writing output data to files? Thanks!
Assuming your question is about writing a csv file and not to excel as per your comments, if you want to make use of the standard AnyLogic objects you can easily follow the instructions from the help here
https://anylogic.help/anylogic/connectivity/text-file.html
If you prefer to be in full control of the writing to the CSV file you can also easily use some standard Java functionalities and create a function like this.
The String input can then be any piece of string, with what ever separators you want, comma ,, pipe |, tab "\t" etc, and you simply need to add in line breaks "\n" in your string to write new lines in your output.
I have a simulation which produces a bunch of vtu (also pvtu) and vti (also pvti) files which, as I understand, represent the configuration of points in one timestamp. But is there a way to group them into one close-to-vtk file to be able to visualize a simulation, which consists of many timestamps, in an app like paraview (but not only)?
ParaView can natively open many files as a time series, see the doc.
If your file names contains a number, the ParaView "open file" dialog will collapse them under a dummy filename containing dots instead of number. Open it to open the whole series.
edit: conversion
To be close to the vtk format, you may use .pvd that is a ParaView format described here or the .series from VTK (doc here )
To read it with another software, well, you will need to check the supported file formats by the application you want to use. VTK can write several other formats, including Exodus, XDMF or CGNS for instance.
I want to open my 3D point cloud in MATLAB. But they are in .las files. How can I display them in MATLAB???
I heard about .ply file can open 3D point data on MATLAB. So I want to know how to convert las files to ply files.
There is a .las file reader for matlab here:
https://es.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/48073-lasdata
Once you have the data in matlab you can use these point cloud tools, which are part of the computer vision toolbox:
https://es.mathworks.com/help/vision/3-d-point-cloud-processing.html
If you want to embrace the open source force, I'm writing a Python (easy transition from matlab) library for point cloud processing:
https://github.com/daavoo/pyntcloud
You can use the free and open-source CloudCompare software.
On the command line:
CloudCompare -O file_to_convert.las -C_EXPORT_FMT PLY -SAVE_CLOUDS
Take care to the order of the options: it seems that -SAVE_CLOUDS must be at the end.
That will result in a binary-format PLY file in the same directory as the file to convert, named using the original filename and the date of export, like: file_to_convert_2019-07-18_13h32_06_751.ply
I found no way to specify the output file name (should you find one please comment below).
Should you want a more predictable name, add option -NO_TIMESTAMP before the option -SAVE_CLOUDS (but then you risk overwriting files so be careful).
More help (such as how to export in ASCII-format) in the documentation.
I timed this on powerful PC, it took 170s to convert a 2.7GB LAS file with 102M points (XYZ,intensity,time).
if you have LAStools installed, you can use las2txt to convert your *.las/*.laz files into *.xyz format which MeshLab can import natively as a point cloud, which may then be converted into a Mesh.
There are a multitude of caveats to that depending on the source of your data-set.
I am a biology graduate student trying to export these files so that they can be used with a matlab based automated behavior classification software JAABA. It looks like there is no direct way to save .trc files as .mat (http://www.mediacy.com/imageproplus/specifications). At the very least I would like to figure out a way to read the format of the .trc files so that I could write a script to get them to make sense for JAABA. If anyone is familiar with either of these programs or both, or could simply point to a good way to write an importer (definitely outside of my skill set) I would be very grateful.
I would like to play some kind of text-to-speech with only numbers. I can record 10 wav files, but how can I combine them programmatically ?
For instance, the user types 1234, and the text-to-speech combines 1.wav with 2.wav, 3.wav and 4.wav to produce 1234.wav that plays "one two three four".
1) create a new destination sample buffer (you will want to know the sizes).
2) read the samples (e.g. using AudioFile and ExtAudioFile APIs) and write them in sequence to the buffer. You may want to add silence between the files.
It will help if your files are all the same bit depth (the destination bit depth - 16 should be fine) and sample rate.
Alternatively, if you have fixed, known, sample rates and bit depths for all files, you could just save them as raw sample data and be done in much less time because you could simply append the data as is without writing all the extra audio file reading programs.
The open source project wavtools provides a good reference for this sort of work, if you're ok with perl. Otherwise there is a similar question with some java examples.
The simplist common .wav (RIFF) file format just has a 44 byte header in front of raw PCM samples. So, for these simple types of .wav files, you could just try reading the files as raw bytes, removing the 44 byte header from all but the first file, and concatening the samples. Or just play the concatenated samples directly using the Audio Queue API.
