Sound Blaster Audigy mixer / default DSP code
|
||
|
|
=============================================
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
This is based on sb-live-mixer.rst.

|
The EMU10K2 chips have a DSP part which can be programmed to support
|
||
|
|
various ways of sample processing, which is described here.
|
||
|
|
(This article does not deal with the overall functionality of the
|
||
|
|
EMU10K2 chips. See the manuals section for further details.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ALSA driver programs this portion of chip by default code
|
||
|
|
(can be altered later) which offers the following functionality:

Digital mixer controls
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These controls are built using the DSP instructions. They offer extended
|
||
|
|
functionality. Only the default built-in code in the ALSA driver is described
|
||
|
|
here. Note that the controls work as attenuators: the maximum value is the
|
||
|
|
neutral position leaving the signal unchanged. Note that if the same destination
|
||
|
|
is mentioned in multiple controls, the signal is accumulated and can be wrapped
|
||
|
|
(set to maximal or minimal value without checking of overflow).

FX-bus
|
||
|
|
the EMU10K2 chip has an effect bus containing 64 accumulators.
|
||
|
|
Each of the synthesizer voices can feed its output to these accumulators
|
||
|
|
and the DSP microcontroller can operate with the resulting sum.
