Gammatone Filterbank waveform outputs

[astrocyted]

Hi,
I'm interested to have an nn.module gammatone Filterbank that produces the filtered outputs directly [N_filters X Signal length], would it be possible to achieve it within your framwork and without having to go through the loop of number of filters?

Isn't Gammatonegram already like this? The output is already [Batch, N_filters X Signal length]. Or am I understanding your question wrongly?

Just saw your reply now. No. clearly thats not what Gammatonegram returns. check the docs of yourt code:
Returns
-------
spectrogram : torch.tensor
It returns a tensor of spectrograms. shape = (num_samples, freq_bins,time_steps).

time_steps is not signal length, but rather signal_length/frame_hop, i want the per channel IIR filtered waveform not the binned fft

I understand your question now. I am not familiar with gammatone and gammatonegram. This feature is implemented by @WangHelin1997. Maybe he can comment more on it?

Alternatively, can you recommend me any python library that could produce the filtered waveforms? I will check if I could implement it under the current nnAudio framework. It would be a great help if I have something to refer to just to check if I could implement it correctly.

This is one example of its implementation. the output of erb_filterbank() function is what im asking for. its quite slow though. I tried to do it in torch too myself but not really sped up:

I guess the fastest ones are the ones directly written in C.
