  • Patent number: 10002618
    Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards dynamically computing anti-aliasing filter coefficients for sample rate conversion in digital audio. In one aspect, for each input-to-output sampling rate ratio (pitch) obtained, anti-aliasing filter coefficients are interpolated based upon the pitch (e.g., using the fractional part of the ratio) from two filters (coefficient sets) selected based upon the pitch (e.g., using the integer part of the ratio). The interpolation provides for fine-grained cutoff frequencies, and by re-computation for each pitch, smooth anti-aliasing with dynamically changing ratios.
    Type: Grant
