Now to get back into my german revision before I officially forget what little I already learned.

It's kinda longshot, but does anyone here know of any decent resources concerning upsampling and downsampling for audio? Preferably scientific articles....

All I kind find is a shit load of patents.

I assume you've tried "Oppenheim, Alan V.; Ronald W. Schafer, John R. Buck (1999). Discrete-Time Signal Processing (2nd Edition ed.). Prentice Hall. ISBN 0-13-754920-2."

Yeah, we have that at our library but I cant get there right now. I've managed to find some articles on pitch-shifting, so i should be o.k for now at least...

Basically doing a lit review atm for my synth dissertation project. Its a complete pain in the arse because we're not supposed to just use textboks and lecture notes, we have to use scienific publications as well.

That's kinda a problem for me because our lecture note have almost nothing to do with the kind of things I'll be doing to make this synth (or at least, at this reviewing stage) and there's a select few textbooks that talk about synthesizers in detail - I've only managed to find two - and things get even worse when looking at scientific articles. I've only found a handful of relevent things to use :(

Hey mate, if you know a tiny bit of german, I can recommend you the script of my old prof: http://www.isi.ee.ethz.ch/teaching/courses/zss/zss10.pdf

page 50 ff is treating decimation and interpolation. it's pretty mathy so you don't need to know a lot of german.:chug:

to paraphrase it:
interpolation = zero stuffing with m zeroes between every sample and then low pass filtering
decimation = low pass filtering to prevent aliasing and then takin every n-th sample.

n and m natural numbers.

edit: oops sorry just read now that it's supposed to be scientific articles. well resampling is pretty basic and mainly covered in standard text books, maybe you need to look for something harder to find papers about it?

I don't know much german, but I'll give it a go, cheers mate! Well, the whole thing about scientific articles is that there should be at least a few referenced, so this is all useful to me. Thanks man!

the podx3 has a built in tuner confirm/deny

deny

not based on fact, based on stfu bout dat pod when synths are about!

how is this forum still alive

only the earlier ps3s play ps2 games

sony has plans to release hd remakes of loads of ps2 games in the future but there are few at the moment, and you won't ever be able to put your ps2 discs into the newer ps3s and play them

so you could shop around for one of the older models i guess

just found a link to a sony thing to tell you which games are compatible and tbh it look slike most of the ones i play are ok but with the odd glitch or 2. i can get another PS2 for about 50 quid but it'll be another 100 or so for a PS3, do i stick or twist, hmm...

edit - cheers fingers, i was under the same impression but lemme find this link again i was on about...

get a ps3

here's that link anyways. there's a lot of conflicting info on the subject tho.

i cannae watch this atm as i'm at work...

i'd lean towards a PS3 purely for the sake of advancement but only as long as my fave PS2 games work on it.

list your faves?

I thought only the first batch (aka the most awesome batch of which I am an owner) had a fairly full compatibility with ps2 and ps games. Since then they kind of faded out the backwards compatibility, but I've not looked much into the newer slim ps3 though.

I've not played my ps3 in yonks now either, but I'm watching the release of GT5, it's a game I wanted a few years back now and also it's kind of funny watching fanboys cry everytime they shift the date back.

the newer ps3s cannot play any ps2 games from disc. not one as long as you don't count the HD remakes.

the older models can play some but not all of the ps2 catalogue.

details of future plans for backward compatibility on ps3 - from an anonymous source - that seem credible enough.

metal gear solid and final fantasy games are probably going to be remastered.

[QUOTE=fingers mccoy;18263463]list your faves?[/QUOTE]

pro evo footie
tiger woods pga tour
medal of honour various ones

ummm..buzz music quiz one's always a laff, like that. plus various other kid's games when we're pissed up. oh and singstar obv for those very drunken moments.

well obviously the golf and footie ones have been improved and updated on the ps3; i hear fifa is a lot better than pro evo nowadays

the ps3 now has playstation move, which is a wii-style control system with greater accuracy, that is supposed to very effective with the new tiger woods game

i don't know about medal of honour - there's a new one out and there will quite possibly by remastered versions coming out in the future

and apparently rock band 3 is amazing for a party game type thing

the wii sounds up your street as well tho

yeah that's quite interesting. you can see where they're coming from tho, the watershed for people buying the PS3 purely on the basis that they can still play their PS2 games has long since passed (execpt for the likes of me who really don't keep up). all down to money as ever tho, if they see profit in it, as it seems might be case, then it may yet happen.
