2 <list: parameters> - set window parameters
outlets: 1 <fmat|fvec: vector> - output incoming vector with applied window

gbr.yin Fundamental frequency estimation after de Cheveigne and Kawahara
Estimates fundamental frequency and outputs energy, periodicity factor, and auto correlation coefficients.
arguments: 1 <num: min freq> - lowest estimated frequency in Hz [50.]
2 - quality/periodicity threshold [0.68]
attributes: minfreq <num: min freq> - lowest estimated frequency in Hz
threshold <num: threshold> - quality/periodicity threshold
down <num: factor> - down sampling factor of incoming frames [1]
messages: postdoc - post external doc to console
inlets: 1 - signal frame (fmat or fvec
outlets: 1 <num: freq> - estimated frequency in Hz
2 <num: energy> - energy factor
3 <num: perodicity> - quality/periodicity factor
4 <num: ac1> - 2nd autocorrelation coefficient (ac1)
5 <fmat: acf> - vector of autocorrelation coefficients
