摘要:
This disclosure describes techniques that make use of a plurality of hardware elements that operate simultaneously to service synthesis parameters generated from one or more audio files, such as musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) files. In one example, a method comprises storing audio synthesis parameters generated for one or more audio files of an audio frame, processing a first audio synthesis parameter using a first audio processing element of a hardware unit to generate first audio information, processing a second audio synthesis parameter using a second audio processing element of the hardware unit to generate second audio information, and generating audio samples for the audio frame based at least in part on a combination of the first and second audio information.

This disclosure describes techniques for processing audio files that comply with the musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) format. In particular, various tasks associated with MIDI file processing are delegated between software operating on a general purpose processor, firmware associated with a digital signal processor (DSP), and dedicated hardware that is specifically designed for MIDI file processing. Alternatively, a multi-threaded DSP may be used instead of a general purpose processor and the DSP. In one aspect, this disclosure provides a method comprising parsing MIDI files and scheduling MIDI events associated with the MIDI files using a first process, processing the MIDI events using a second process to generate MIDI synthesis parameters, and generating audio samples using a hardware unit based on the synthesis parameters.

A unified filter bank for performing signal conversions may include an interface that receives signal conversion commands in relation to multiple types of compressed audio bitstreams. The unified filter bank may also include a reconfigurable transform component that performs a transform as part of signal conversion for the multiple types of compressed audio bitstreams. The unified filter bank may also include complementary modules that perform complementary processing as part of the signal conversion for the multiple types of compressed audio bitstreams. The unified filter bank may also include an interface command controller that controls the configuration of the reconfigurable transform component and the complementary modules.

This disclosure describes techniques that make use of a waveform fetch unit that operates to retrieve waveform samples on behalf of each of a plurality of hardware processing elements that operate simultaneously to service various audio synthesis parameters generated from one or more audio files, such as musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) files. In one example, a method comprises receiving a request for a waveform sample from an audio processing element, and servicing the request by calculating a waveform sample number for the requested waveform sample based on a phase increment contained in the request and an audio synthesis parameter control word associated with the requested waveform sample, retrieving the waveform sample from a local cache using the waveform sample number, and sending the retrieved waveform sample to the requesting audio processing element.

摘要:
Power savings in a mobile device is accomplished by generating audio samples by decoding a bitstream with a decoding system within the mobile device. The generated audio samples are transferred into at least one memory bank in a set of memory banks in a power saver block within the mobile device. Parts of the decoding system not involved in the storing of the generated audio samples are switched off after batch decoding a bitstream associated with multiple audio frames. The bitstream includes bits less than that found in one audio file. At least one of the memory banks in the set of memory banks is power collapsible. The fetching of the decoded by the decoding system can be synchronized with a paging channel of a modem in the mobile device. The transferred audio samples is a lossless compression and may occur after a re-encoding.

This disclosure describes audio mixing techniques that intelligently combine two or more audio signals into an output signal. The techniques allow audio to be combined, yet create perceptual differentiation between the different audio signals. The result is that a user is able to hear both audio signals in a combined output, but the different audio signals do not perceptually interfere with one another. The techniques are relatively simple to implement and are well suited for radio telephones.

A method and system for resynchronizing an embedded multimedia system using bytes consumed in an audio decoder. The bytes consumed provides a mechanism to compensate for bit error handling and correction in a system that does not require re-transmission. The audio decoder keeps track of the bytes consumed and periodically reports the bytes consumed. A host microprocessor indexes the actual bytes consumed since bit errors may have been handled or corrected to a predetermined byte count to determine whether resynchronization is necessary.

In general, this disclosure describes techniques for changing a sampling frequency of a digital signal. In particular, the techniques provide a more accurate way to determining a relative timing between a desired output sample and a corresponding input sample using a non-approximated integer representation of the relative timing. The relative timing between the desired output sample and corresponding input sample may be represented using a first component that identifies a latest input sample of the digital signal used to generate intermediate samples, a second component that identifies an intermediate sample, and a third component that identifies a timing difference between the desired output sample and the intermediate sample. Each of the components may be recursively updated using non-approximated integer values.
