High quality, one-dimensional sample-rate conversion library

Python-SoXR

High quality, one-dimensional sample-rate conversion library for Python.

• Homepage: https://github.com/dofuuz/python-soxr
• Documentation: https://python-soxr.readthedocs.io
• PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/soxr/

Python-SoXR is a Python wrapper of libsoxr.

Installation

pip install soxr

If installation fails, upgrade pip with python -m pip install --upgrade pip and try again.

Basic usage

import soxr

y = soxr.resample(
    x,          # 1D(mono) or 2D(frames, channels) array input
    48000,      # input samplerate
    16000       # target samplerate
)

If input is not numpy.ndarray, it will be converted to numpy.ndarray(dtype='float32').
dtype should be one of float32, float64, int16, int32.

Output is numpy.ndarray with same dimension and data type of input.

Streaming usage

Use ResampleStream for real-time processing or very long signal.

import soxr

rs = soxr.ResampleStream(
    44100,              # input samplerate
    16000,              # target samplerate
    1,                  # channel(s)
    dtype='float32'     # data type (default = 'float32')
)

eof = False
while not eof:
    # Get chunk
    ...

    y_chunk = rs.resample_chunk(
        x,              # 1D(mono) or 2D(frames, channels) array input
        last=eof        # Set True at end of input
    )

Output frame count may not be consistent. This is normal operation.
(ex. [0, 0, 0, 186, 186, 166, 186, 186, 168, ...])
