The Virtual Bass Toolbox is an easy to use GUI written in MATLAB 7.6.0 (R2008a) which allows virtual bass processing to be applied to sound files. Three types of virtual bass processing are available within the toolbox including: nonlinear devices (NLD), phase vocoders (PV) and hybrid methods (NLD + PV). The toolbox allows for extremely flexible virtual bass capabilities as well as thorough data analysis options.

This version of the toolbox has had functions sensitive to current research in the Audio Research Laboratory, University of Essex, removed so that the toolbox can be distributed freely among researchers. Under no circumstances may this toolbox be used in commercial/for-profit applications. However, you are most welcome to use the programs to support research, although formal acknowledgement is expected.

As an open source project, users are encouraged to improve the code in any way seen fit along with creating new functions for the toolbox. Updates are welcome and can be emailed for inclusion on the website.
