Variable speed replay of digital audio with constant output sampling rate.

摘要

The apparatus comprises a manually operably device (16, 50) producing pulses PP which directly or after integration, determine the rate of replay (fv) of the digital audio. These pulses are counted by a counter (70). Each pulse corresponds to 1.5/500 s audio. The counter (70) is reset at the rate fs/2048 where fs is the constant output sampling rate and its contents are held in a latch (72) whose contents are inversely proportional to the replay sampling period. Adders (74, 76) add the contents of the counter (70) into overflowing accumulators (78) and (80) clocked at the 48KHz fixed sampling rate fs and 128 times this rate respectively. The number (SPR) of the first accumulator (78) represents the sample displacement (d) while the MSB of the second accumulator (80) provides the replay clock fv. The sample displacement (d) represents the displacement between an output sample and an input sample and controls a two stage interpolation by way of a finite impulse response filter and a linear interpolating filter.
