soxr 0.3.0

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, ...])

Requirement

x86 and ARM processors are supported.

Neon extension is required for ARM CPUs. Without Neon, it may crash or return inaccurate result.

Benchmark

Sweep, impulse, speed compairsion with other Python resamplers.
