Spectral analysis of Delia Derbyshire's "The Pattern Emerges" with logarithmic y (frequency) axis and 50 pixel columns per second.

Produced by the following Makefile:

WIDTH=8654
LIN_HEIGHT=8192
LOG_HEIGHT=1024

MAX_Y_IN=`expr $(LIN_HEIGHT) - 1`
MAX_Y_OUT=`expr $(LOG_HEIGHT) - 1`
MAX_FREQ_IN=22050
MIN_FREQ_OUT=50
MAX_FREQ_OUT=3600

                $(WIDTH) $(LIN_HEIGHT) $@
