I'm currently doing some "stuff" with the fftw3 library which is
written in C. You can access C (and other native) code from Java using
the JNI interface. When I put "fftw Java JNI" into Google there were a
lot of hits suggesting that people are doing this already. I don't have
time to sort through the links to find out which of them is best.

Cheers,

I'm not sure if optimized JAVA code is not in fact an oxymoron.

Try FFTW, it's the standard for GPLed FFT source codes. Another one is
KISSFFT. Both are in C/C++.

1 sec latency is still real-time. (Definition of real-time: the latency
is bounded). State your requirements more precisely.

I am a C, not a Java developer, but this is quite a good complex FFT demo
http://sepwww.stanford.edu/oldsep/hale/FftLab.html although having looked at
the code it's hardly optimised.

I am not sure what OS you are on, but latency in Windows, depending on the
API and drivers in use, can be awful. Generally speaking latency using the
MME (Multimedia extensions) API is usually worse than DirectSound.
DirectSound latency is generally worse than using ASIO.

Hello all!

I'm new on this group.
I started following it because I need help for project I'm working on
at my faculty.

I need to include an FFT algorithm in my project in order to manage
sound signal. Can anyone recommend me a good implementation of FFT in
JAVA, because, as I have read about it, there is many of
implementations which are not optimised.

Code examples about mnaging sound with FFT are wellcome :)


Another problem I encountered on is latency due to JAVA buffering.

My project should work in real time, so it is big challenge to avoid
the latency.
With Pentium IV, 2.8GHz, 768MB of RAM, I have latency of about 1
sec!!!!

Can anyone suggest how to solve theese, for me - very big, problems?

Thanks in advance!
