Abstract
A system and method is provided for performing sound synthesis with delay-based special effects which may be algorithmically implemented using one or more time-delay elements The system implements the time-delay elements by using system memory to store time-delay data. The system and method described herein utilizes the benefits of a high bandwidth I/O bus while mitigating the disadvantages introduced by having to arbitrate for a shared system bus. By using system memory for storing time-delay data, a more cost effective PC audio system can be produced.
