| Abstract(in English) | Digital synthesizers have laid the groundwork for the significant advances in sound computing and it spreads worldwide. To perform the live music, high-quality and high-speed sound computation should be proposed for mobile computing. However, it has not been implemented because of its scarce computational power. Toward the play of a symphony on a single mobile device, this paper proposes a flexible sound synthesizer which has the programmability of internal modules. As the first step, this paper proposes the design of high-quality basic modules which considers the amount of the circuits for parallel computation on an FPGA. These modules adopt the CORDIC methods and it enabled a small-sized FPGA to hold many modules. It was also verified from the viewpoint of sound quality and circuit size in this paper. In addition, the graphical user interface is introduced and it will be good for designing the original synthesizer. |
