摘要： Coding is made possible with higher efficiency while the listener is prevented from feeling a sense of incongruity. An adaptive mixing section performs a mixing process on input signals on the basis of distortion factor information supplied from a distortion factor detection section, and controls the operation time of MS stereo coding or IS stereo coding. Furthermore, the adaptive mixing section creates power correction information in accordance with a mixing coefficient, and causes power correction to be performed during reproduction. A coding control section selects a coding method of a coding process performed in a coding section and supplies it to the coding section. The coding section selects dual coding, MS stereo coding, or IS stereo coding in accordance with the instructions from the coding control section, and codes a spectrum signal supplied from a domain conversion section.

摘要： The present invention relates to a signal processing apparatus and method, a program, and a data recording medium configured such that the playback level of an audio signal can be easily and effectively enhanced without requiring prior analysis.An analyzer 21 generates mapping control information in the form of the root mean square of samples in a given segment of a supplied audio signal. A mapping processor 22 takes a nonlinear function determined by the mapping control information taken as a mapping function, and conducts amplitude conversion on a supplied audio signal using the mapping function. In this way, by conducting amplitude conversion of an audio signal using a nonlinear function that changes according to the characteristics in respective segments of an audio signal, the playback level of an audio signal can be easily and effectively enhanced without requiring prior analysis. The present invention may be applied to portable playback apparatus.

摘要： In a quantization step information encoding unit, an average value of the quantization step information is found in an approximate shape extraction unit (20), first of all, from one set of a given number of unitary quantization units to another. In an approximate shape encoding unit (21), the approximate shape information is vector-quantized. In a residual signal computing unit (22), the residual signals between the quantization step information and the quantized approximate shape vector are computed. In a residual signal encoding unit (23), the residual signals are variable length encoded, and the so encoded residual signals and the vector quantized approximate shape information are output.

摘要： The invention intends to transmit audio signals of multiple channels in such a manner as to be able to decode and reproduce them in real time on the receiving side. Digital signals of multiple channels are each divided into one or more fragments in an audio signal input circuit, and the fragments of multiple channels are each encoded into coded fragment data by an encoder of the corresponding channel. At the time when transmission of one of the coded fragment data is ended, a multiplexer selects another of the coded fragment data of multiple channels to be next transmitted, and supplies it to a transmitting circuit.

摘要： The MIDI reproducing block has such a sound source as a synthesizer and synthesizes and reproduces electronic sounds sequentially according to entered MIDI playing information, thereby generating MIDI sound signals of an accompaniment music. Generated MIDI sound signals are supplied to the mixer. The audio reproducing block reproduces audio sound signals according to entered audio information. Generated audio sound signals are supplied to the mixer. The tempo change time setting block sets a tempo change time in entered tempo change information. Tempo change information in which a tempo change time is set is supplied to both MIDI reproducing block and audio reproducing block. The mixer mixes supplied MIDI sound signals with audio sound signals, thereby generating reproduction signals, then outputs the signals after the sound volume is adjusted. Generated reproduction signals are then supplied to the speaker. The speaker then outputs supplied reproduction signals as sounds. Thus, MIDI sound signals are synchronized with audio sound signals accurately such way when in reproducing.

摘要： In a tone color map generating section, a tone color parameter and the effective time for making the tone color map effective are extracted from an SMF stored in a MIDI file database, and the tone color parameter is stored in a tone color map database. When a demand processing section receives a playback start position for starting the playback of the SMF, a read processing section reads the tone color parameter stored in the tone color map database in accordance with the playback start position, and generates time information indicating time to set the tone color parameter in a MIDI device. A sending circuit sends the tone color parameter together with the corresponding time information, and then sends a MIDI signal from the playback start position thereafter, stored in the MIDI file database.
