Processing audio signals
First Claim
1. A machine for processing audio signals, comprising:
- a real-time digital-signal-processing system;
a digital-audio-interface arranged to be connected to a packet-based-network;
a control-processor arranged to present a graphical-interface to a user; and
an external-audio-source connected to said packet-based-network, wherein;
said control-processor is configured to receive an instruction to connect said external-audio-source to said digital-signal-processing system via said packet-based-network; and
in response to receiving said instruction, said control-processor is arranged to;
establish a first-connection-node between said external-audio-source and said packet-based-network;
create a second-connection-node between said packet-based-network and said digital-audio-interface; and
configure a third-connection-node between said digital-audio-interface and said digital-signal-processing system;
wherein;
said digital-audio-interface is configured to receive data-packets from a plurality of sources, in which each said source appends a respective packet-address to each transmitted data packet; and
each packet with a similar packet address is located within a respective time-slot following the creation of a respective second-connection-node.

Abstract
Audio signals are processed by a real-time digital-signal-processing system. A digital-audio-interface is arranged to be connected to a packet-based-network. A control-processor arranged presents a graphical-interface to a user and an audio-source is connected to the packet-based-network. The control-processor receives an instruction to connect the external-audio-source to the digital-signal-processing system via the packet-based-network. In response to receiving the instruction, the control-processor establishes a first-connection-node between the audio-source and the packet-based-network; creates a second-connection-node between the packet-based-network and the digital-audio-interface; and configures a third-connection-node between the digital-audio-interface and the digital-signal-processing system.

10. A process operable upon audio signals, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving an instruction via a graphical interface to connect an external audio-source to a channel of a digital-signal-processing system; establishing a first-connection-node between said audio-source and a packet-based network; creating a second-connection-node between said packet-based-network and a digital-audio-interface configured to convert packet-based data into a time-division-multiplex data; configuring a third connection-node between a location in said time-division-multiplex data of said digital audio-interface and a channel of said digital-signal-processing system; and configuring said digital-audio-interface to receive data-packets from a plurality of sources, in which each said source appends a respective packet-address to each transmitted data packet; and wherein each packet with a similar packet address is located within a respective time-slot following the creation of a respective second-connection-node. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A process to establish an audio environment, comprising the steps of:
-
connecting a real-time digital-signal-processing system to a digital-audio-interface that is in turn connected to a packet-based network; controlling said digital-signal-processing system and said digital-audio-interface from a control-processor arranged to present a graphical-interface to a user; connecting an external audio-source to said packet-based-network, in response to receiving an instruction via said graphical-interface, and said control processor; establishes a first-connection-node between said audio-source and said packet-based-network; creates a second-connection-node between said packet-based-network and said digital-audio-interface; and configures a third-connection-node between said digital-audio-interface and said digital-signal-processing system; configuring said digital-audio-interface to receive data-packets from a plurality of sources, in which each said source appends a respective packet-address to each transmitted data packet; and wherein each packet with a similar packet address is located within a respective time-slot following the creation of a respective second-connection-node. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
