XMOS and DSP Concepts Partner to Accelerate Audio and Voice DSP Applications

March 25 2024, 01:10
XMOS has announced a partnership with DSP Concepts, the company behind Audio Weaver. The UK AI and semiconductor experts have partnered with the Californian embedded audio software specialists to combine XMOS' highly-deterministic, low latency xcore.ai platform with DSP Concepts' Audio Weaver software. The combined solution enables developers to graphically design and debug audio and voice solutions utilizing multicores easily from one single canvas.
 

Audio manufacturers can now benefit by combining the XMOS’ low latency xcore.ai platform with Audio Weaver software, gaining access to strong support networks and engineering communities of both platforms, and in result achieving a faster time to market for fully integrated, BOM-optimized solutions. For developers the combined solution adds the ability to construct an audio processing pipeline while almost completely dispensing with complex manual code.
 
The combination of the xcore.ai platform, integrating edge-AI, DSP, control and IO in a single device, with the simplified user interface and resources available in the Audio Weaver environment, creates increased flexibility and accessibility. Developers can take full advantage of the existing XMOS xcore.ai multichannel audio evaluation board, along with a fully productized software development kit (SDK). Audio Weaver makes the coding process a drag-and-drop exercise, and xcore.ai enables a high level of customization through software alone.

"Audio innovation should be easy so that the audio engineer can focus on the differentiation for the products they are making.  Audio Weaver is purpose-built to streamline the design process – a visual approach, multiple deployment options, and deep integrations with chip partners all help to keep the focus on the product, and not on a frustrating development process. XMOS’ adaptability only adds to that strength," says Chin Beckmann, CEO, DSP Concepts.

xcore.ai is a high-performance, multi-purpose processor, fully configurable in software, while Audio Weaver offers a one-stop solution for audio product development, from R&D right up to production. In combining sophisticated graphical design tools with over 500 pre-built models, designers can construct an audio processing pipeline while almost completely dispensing with complex manual code.

"Versatility has always been a priority for XMOS – designers and engineers need to be able to change their designs and explore new ideas without prohibitive expense. This partnership with DSP Concepts is the latest milestone on that journey, giving designers yet more tools with which they can refine their designs, taking new and impactful applications to market at speed," adds Aneet Chopra, EVP Marketing & Product Management for XMOS.
 
XMOS and DSP Concepts will be delving into their partnership in more detail and providing further information about their joint solution in a forthcoming webinar on April 17, 2024. Click here to secure your place: https://w.dspconcepts.com/xmos-webinar.
