After recording bats, orthoptera or birds, it is often necesserary to see the spectrograms of the sounds, for instance while analysing [Vigie-Chiro Program](http://www.vigienature.fr/fr/chauves-souris) bat records
|
|
|
|
The software needed to do so are often only for Windows, in the present article, we will learn how to install these softwares (i.e. Kaleidoscope, Syrinx, Batsound 4, 7-zip, Lupas-Rename).
|
|
|
|
Install Wine
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Wine is a software that enable .exe software to run on UNIX systems such as Linux or Mac OS.
|
|
|
|
### On Debian and derivatives (Ubuntu...)
|
|
|
|
Enable 32 bit packages (if you haven't already):
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Download and install the repository key:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
|
|
sudo apt-key add winehq.key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add the repository to /etc/apt/sources.list or create a wine.list under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with the following content:
|
|
|
|
```textile
|
|
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Update packages
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install Wine stable
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### On Fedora, RHEL, and derivatives
|
|
|
|
Add repository :
|
|
```bash
|
|
dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/33/winehq.repo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install stable package :
|
|
```bash
|
|
dnf install winehq-stable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install Kaleidoscope
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Kaleidoscope is available on both fedora and debian based distros at [wildlife acoustics](https://www.wildlifeacoustics.com/).
|
|
|
|
Install Syrinx
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
As all following softwares, Syrinx is not available for GNU/Linux, we need Wine to execute the `.exe`.
|
|
Syrinx-PC is available at [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5ZM90wrDzUOM0ZfYlpDR2l1cU0/view).
|
|
You will also need the config files available at [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5ZM90wrDzUOQnBhRjNVRFM1Rkk/view).
|
|
|
|
You have almost two options :
|
|
You can either right click on the `.exe` installer and select `Open with other application` and `Wine Windows Program Loader`, or either run `wine syrinxalphainst.exe` in Terminal.
|
|
|
|
### Set up app launcher
|
|
|
|
You have to create a new file `.local/share/applications/syrinx.desktop`:
|
|
```textile
|
|
[Desktop Entry]
|
|
Type=Application
|
|
Encoding=UTF-8
|
|
Name=Syrinx
|
|
Comment=Acoustic analysis
|
|
Exec=/usr/bin/wine /home/<USER>/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ (x86)/syrinx/Syrinx.exe
|
|
Icon=/home/<USER>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/syrinx/img/vigie-chiro.png
|
|
Terminal=false
|
|
```
|
|
Change `<USER>` by your username. To have the icon, you can download [`vigie-chiro.png`](/images/vigie-chiro.png).
|
|
To analyse ultrasound, with a 384 kHz sampling frequency, we have to open `Configs_syrinx/exp384.dsp`; and next Load sound file (`Ctrl+L`). To switch to other sound file in same folder, we can use `alt+arrows`. For more tips, you can view [the video of Charlotte ROEMER (Fr)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPPSw2FSLxs).
|
|
|
|
Install and Configure Batsound 4
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The procedure is quite similar with Syrinx-PC installation.
|
|
|
|
### Set up app launcher
|
|
|
|
Create a new file `.local/share/applications/batsound.desktop`:
|
|
|
|
```textile
|
|
[Desktop Entry]
|
|
Type=Application
|
|
Encoding=UTF-8
|
|
Name=Batsound
|
|
Comment=Acoustic analysis
|
|
Exec=/usr/bin/wine /home/<USER>/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ (x86)/Pettersson/Batsound4/BatSound.exe
|
|
Icon=/home/<USER>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Pettersson/Batsound4/img/batsound.png
|
|
Terminal=false
|
|
```
|
|
(Do not forget to change `<USER>` to your username.)
|
|
|
|
To have the icon, you can download [`batsound.png`](/images/batsound.png).
|
|
|
|
### Configure Batsound to analyse ultrasounds
|
|
* Enter the `Sound/Sound Format` menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Change `Time expansion` value to 10 (according to your recorder settings)
|
|
* Keep 44 100 as `Samples per second` value.
|
|
|
|
* Enter the `Analysis/Spectrogram Settings - Defaults` menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Change `Max frequency` to `150000`;
|
|
* Set `Amplitude color mapping` to `Yellow, Red & Blue`;
|
|
* Adapt `Threshold` to sound intensity.
|
|
|
|
* You can zoom in.
|
|
|
|
With a *Pipistrellus kuhlii* record, I obtain the following spectrogram with the above settings :

|
|
Install 7-zip
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
7-zip is useful in Vigie-Chiro process to compress audio files for faster upload to [https://vigiechiro.herokuapp.com](https://vigiechiro.herokuapp.com).
|
|
|
|
1. Download `.exe` installer at [https://www.7-zip.org/](https://www.7-zip.org/)
|
|
2. Execute `7z1900.exe` with wine.
|
|
|
|
Install Lupas-Rename
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Lupas-Rename is used in Vigie-Chiro protocole to batch rename audio file to add protocoles informations such as pass and square.
|
|
|
|
1. Dowload `.exe` installer at [https://rename.lupasfreeware.org/download.php](https://rename.lupasfreeware.org/download.php)
|
|
2. Execute installer with wine
|
|
3. Batch rename audio files...
|
|
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
With all these functionnal softwares, you are able to perform Vigie-Chiro protocole and sound analysis on GNU/Linux. I look forward to see your participation at [https://vigiechiro.herokuapp.com](https://vigiechiro.herokuapp.com) ! |
