With the advent of multimedia, digital signal processing (DSP) of SOUND has emerged from the shadow of bandwidth-limited speech processing. Today, the main appli- cations of audio DSP are high quality audio coding and the digital generation and manipulation of music signals. They share common research topics including percep- tual measurement techniques and analysis/synthesis methods. Smaller but nonetheless very important topics are hearing aids using signal processing technology and hardware architectures for digital signal processing of audio. In all these areas the last decade has seen a significant amount of application oriented research.
A GTK SOUND font editor. SOUND font files are used to synthesize instruments from audio samples for use in composing music with wavetable SOUND cards or software emulation. Smurf currently has AWE 32/64 and SB Live support. Software emulation is expected
The SWF [pronounced 鈥渟wiff 鈥? file format delivers vector graphics, text, video, and SOUND
over the Internet and is supported by Adobe廬 Flash廬 Player software. The SWF file format is
designed to be an efficient delivery format, not a format for exchanging graphics between
graphics editors.
