Dude
Storing your data in matlab is the least of your problems
Try matlab cell array
You are in way over your head
If you want this thing work for real speech

I tried this in MATLAB. But as the lengths of pitch-synchronized frames
vary, how can u store the frames for further processing? My MATLAB code is
here and hope I got the idea correctly.

samp_rate= 16000;
wav= tts('I can speak',[],-5,samp_rate);
%wavplay(wav,fs);
[f0, t, r] = spPitchTrackCorr(wav,samp_rate,20,10,[],0);%pitch detection
from Naotoshi Seo
no_of_pitchmarks = length(f0);

%for i=:no_of_pitchmarks -- Can't store the frames in a matrix
 i=1;
    pitch= f0(i);
    pit_period= 1/pitch;
    no_of_samps_per_period= floor(samp_rate*pit_period);
    sampInd_atPitMark= floor(samp_rate*t);
    pit_syn_frames(:,i) = wav(sampInd_atPitMark -   
no_of_samps_per_period:sampInd_atPitMark + no_of_samps_per_period);
%end

Thanks for the suggestions. And i take back 'using MATLAB' part :)

You seem to be assuming that something called "pitch" exists
at the current mark.  If so, estimate it (using a localized
pitch estimation algorithm).  Verify your assumption and the
estimate by correlating one pitch period prior and subsequent
to the mark.  Interpolate or upsample, as necessary.  If the
correlation is high enough, use that prior and subsequent data
as the frame.  If not, do something else.

At least, that's one possible method.

IMHO. YMMV.

do you have a pitch-detection algorithm?  that's the first thing that
you need.  you need to know the period length.  if you don't, better
look into pitch detection algs (often something based on AMDF or
autocorrelation or something similar).

and then, depending on your required precision of time, you may need a
means of interpolation or resampling because the period length is not
necessarily an integer number of samples.

yeah, don't expect someone else to work for free for you.

often, for use of these "grains" or little "wavelets" (a term i used
in 1995, not to be confused with any wavelet transform) or "diphones",
you need two adjacent periods and you end up ramping the first up from
zero and the second period down to zero (usually using a Hann window
or Flattened Hann or something similar, i s'pose you could use a
triangular window).

yer welcome, FWIW.

You mean you are looking for free matlab code for doing this ?

Good luck with your search

Please let us know what you find

And btw, why do you need two pitch periods ?  Isn't one enough ?
