VARIANTS ON LOW-LATENCY CONVOLUTION-SMOOTH UPDATING OF FILTER RESPONSE USING CROSSFADES

A method of performing a convolution of an input data stream, the method comprising the steps of: (a) transforming an initial series of input data values into the frequency domain to form initial frequency domain data values; (b) multiplying the frequency domain data values with a set of coefficients so as to form convolved frequency data; (c) transforming the convolved frequency data into a spatial domain so as to form an initial series of output data values; (d) performing steps (a) to (c) on a subsequent series of input data values of the input data stream so as to form a subsequent series of output data values; the subsequent series of input data values overlapping the initial series of input data values; and (e) cross fading overlapping portions of the initial and subsequent output data values.
