Abstract

A memory update engine provides flexible modification of data in memory. A processor may employ the update engine to update filter coefficients, special effects parameters, signal sample processing instructions, or any other instruction or data during processing. The update engine supports dynamic updating without requiring processor shutdown, thereby allowing the processor to seamlessly continue operation during a live performance.
