The f3, f4 and f5 formants are all very close together, and those combinations of centre frequency vs bandwidth result in some pretty high Q values! Maybe they are right but something seems a bit fishy about them to me.<br>

I don't know much about the frquencies, but maybe the bandwidth is from one end of the band to the other end, where the calculations in the filter book I'm working with assumes bandwidth is from the center frequency to one end, possibly cutting the bandwidth in half will work. Yay experimentation.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Also, if those "Amp (dB)" values are the amplitudes of the formant peaks in the frequency spectrum, then they may or may not take into account what the excitation waveform was. If you go about making a filter bank and drive it from a sawtooth oscillator for example, the sawtooth waveform will already have a -6dB/oct rolloff to it's spectrum before you start boosting and cutting areas with the formant filters. Something to bear in mind.<br><div><div class="h5"><br></div></div>
