Hello, I wonder if somebody would be able to help me with the manufacturer name for some easy to use audio DSP design software. The software in question was a windows based drag-and-drop design suite for some line of audio DSP cores, so you could basically drag a 'Equaliser' block onto the screen and set it's properties in a handy little window then join it to a 'Delay' block, for example, and the program would generate the C for the processor; it was quite slick looking software in the Windows XP visual style. I can't remember where I saw the advert (probably EDN) and a search of the major audio DSP manufactures has proved fruitless so far. Many thanks, Jon Starr Design engineer DFx Technology Limited
Audio DSP design software?

Check out: http://www.symbolicsound.com/ Very impressive software. It runs on hardware based on a quadruple 56309 Motorola DSPs, so they have to be careful not to be overtaken by standard workstations or more modern DSP clusters in the near future. Regards, Andor

Analog devices was talking about something like that a while back. I don't know if it ever made it into production or not. I don't see anything right off on their web page, so I'm thinking maybe not.

IMHO it may take a while before its overtaken :-) Then again the base system is 3.5K.... Dave Peverley

Try www.soundslogical.com for a program called WaveWarp.
