aevalsrc
Generate an audio signal specified by an expression.
This source accepts in input one or more expressions (one for each channel), which are evaluated and used to generate a corresponding audio signal.
This source accepts the following options:
- 'exprs'
-
Set the '|'-separated expressions list for each separate channel. In case the 'channel_layout' option is not specified, the selected channel layout depends on the number of provided expressions. Otherwise the last specified expression is applied to the remaining output channels.
- 'channel_layout, c'
-
Set the channel layout. The number of channels in the specified layout must be equal to the number of specified expressions.
- 'duration, d'
-
Set the minimum duration of the sourced audio. See (ffmpeg-utils)the Time duration section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual for the accepted syntax. Note that the resulting duration may be greater than the specified duration, as the generated audio is always cut at the end of a complete frame.
If not specified, or the expressed duration is negative, the audio is supposed to be generated forever.
- 'nb_samples, n'
-
Set the number of samples per channel per each output frame, default to 1024.
- 'sample_rate, s'
-
Specify the sample rate, default to 44100.
Each expression in exprs can contain the following constants:
- 'n'
-
number of the evaluated sample, starting from 0
- 't'
-
time of the evaluated sample expressed in seconds, starting from 0
- 's'
-
sample rate
Command line examples
- Generate silence:
aevalsrc=0
- Generate a sin signal with frequency of 440 Hz, set sample rate to 8000 Hz:
aevalsrc="sin(440*2*PI*t):s=8000"
- Generate a two channels signal, specify the channel layout (Front Center + Back Center) explicitly:
aevalsrc="sin(420*2*PI*t)|cos(430*2*PI*t):c=FC|BC"
- Generate white noise:
aevalsrc="-2+random(0)"
- Generate an amplitude modulated signal:
aevalsrc="sin(10*2*PI*t)*sin(880*2*PI*t)"
- Generate 2.5 Hz binaural beats on a 360 Hz carrier:
aevalsrc="0.1*sin(2*PI*(360-2.5/2)*t) | 0.1*sin(2*PI*(360+2.5/2)*t)"
