Frequency-Domain Additive Synthesis With An Oversampled Weighted Overlap-Add Filterbank For A Portable Low-Power MIDI Synthesizer
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses a hybrid audio synthesis method employing both additive synthesis and DPCM audio playback, and the implementation of a miniature synthesizer system that accepts MIDI as an input format. Additive synthesis is performed in the frequency domain using a weighted overlap-add filterbank, providing efficiency gains compared to previously known methods. The synthesizer system is implemented on an ultra-miniature, low-power, reconfigurable application specific digital signal processing platform. This low-resource MIDI synthesizer is suitable for portable, low-power devices such as mobile telephones and other portable communication devices. Several issues related to the additive synthesis method, DPCM codec design, and system tradeoffs are discussed.

LOW−RESOURCE DELAYLESS SUBBAND ADAPTIVE FILTER USING WEIGHTED OVERLAP−ADD (MonAmOR1)
A delayless structure targeted for low−resource implementation is proposed to eliminate filterbank processing delays in subband adaptive filters (SAFs). Rather than using direct IFFT or polyphase filterbanks to transform the SAFs back into the time−domain, the proposed method utilizes a weighted overlap−add (WOLA) synthesis. Low−resource real−time implementations are targeted and as such do not...
متن کاملReal-Time Cardiac Arrhythmia Detection Using WOLA Filterbank Analysis of EGM Signals
Novel methods of cardiac rhythm detection are proposed that are based on time-frequency analysis by a weighted overlap-add (WOLA) oversampled filterbank. Cardiac signals are obtained from intracardiac electrograms and decomposed into the timefrequency domain and analyzed by parallel peak detectors in selected frequency subbands. The coherence (synchrony) of the subband peaks is analyzed and emp...

This paper discusses an additional signal processing procedure for use in a recently proposed frequency-domain additive synthesizer 1, 2]. The overlap-add approach used in the frequency-domain synthesis can result in amplitude modulation in the overlap region between successive time frames if the partial frequencies in those frames are signiicantly diier-ent. A new method is proposed in which s...
