摘要:
A method and apparatus for printing a one-dimensional, continuous signal, such as a sound wave, as a printed pattern and for recovering the sound wave from the printed pattern. The method decomposes the one dimensional signal two-dimensional function that is continuous in both dimensions. The two-dimensional function can be printed as a pattern on to a paper substrate using a standard printer. The audio signal is recovered by scanning the pattern and processing the scanned values.

A method and apparatus for an audio scrubbing system for synchronizing audio to an asynchronous clock while preserving pitch utilizes a phase-vocoder to implement time-scaling without pitch-shifting.

A system for pitch-shifting an audio signal wherein resampling is done in the frequency domain. The system includes a method for pitch-shifting a signal by converting the signal to a frequency domain representation and then identifying a specific region in the frequency domain representation. The region being located at a first frequency location. Next, the region is shifted to a second frequency location to form a adjusted frequency domain representation. Finally, the adjusted frequency domain representation is transformed to a time domain signal representing the input signal with shifted pitch. This eliminates the expensive time domain resampling stage and allows the computational costs to become independent of the pitch modification factor.

A system (200) for processing a sound signal (212) that allows dynamic customization of perceived spatial positions and sound qualities of sound components associated with the sound signal (212). The system provides apparatus for processing a sound signal (212) that includes an input to receive the sound signal (212), a sound unmixer (204) coupled to the input to receive the sound signal (212) and unmix at least one sound stream (216) from the sound signal (212) based on at least one unmixing instruction (214), and an output coupled to the sound unmixer (214) to output the at least one sound stream (216).

摘要:
A frequency-domain method for format conversion or reproduction of 2-channel or multi-channel audio signals such as recordings is described. The reproduction is based on spatial analysis of directional cues in the input audio signal and conversion of these cues into audio output signal cues for two or more channels in the frequency domain.

A method and device are described to process an event on an audio rendering device. The method may comprise rendering a first audio stream via at least a first audio signal in a first audio playback channel and a second audio signal in a second audio playback channel and monitoring occurrence of the event with an associated second audio stream. Upon occurrence of the event, the first audio signal may be panned to the second audio playback channel, the first audio signal being mixed with the second audio signal in the second audio playback channel. The second audio stream is then rendered via the first audio playback channel.

A method and device for providing visualizations on a media player is described. The method may comprise monitoring playback of an audio stream on the media player selecting visualization data stored on the media player. The visualization data may be previously rendered and including at least one element derived from an audio stream. Thereafter, the selected visualization data is displayed and the audio stream is rendered on the media player. For example, the selected visualization data may be automatically without human intervention rendered in synchrony with the audio stream. The media player may be a portable media player and the visualization data may comprise dynamic element(s) and static element(s). The method may update the dynamic element(s) based on an update algorithm.
