Center frequencies of a gammatone filter bank are spaced evenly on the ERB scale. Convert the center frequencies vector to the ERB scale and calculate the differences between center frequencies.

Create an octave bandwidth splMeter and get the center frequencies of the octave filter bank. Round the center frequencies to two significant digits for display purposes.

SPL = splMeter('SampleRate',44100,'Bandwidth','1 octave');
cf = getCenterFrequencies(SPL);
round(cf,2,'significant')
