Re: Can I make an AudioUnit to decode FSK?



I assume you will convert FSK to MIDI Clock, or some kind of sync? That would be a great application for owners of legacy audio gear that uses FSK to sync up, like an old Roland TR-626 drum machine, and some older Tape Sync devices - could be quite useful in a hybrid studio with multitrack tape machines and tape synchronizers as well... I would think that one might either want to have a stand alone application that appears as a MIDI input port to applications like Logic - so that Logic (or other MIDI software) could sync to the FSK gear. I would imagine that an audio unit would be more appropriate for an FSK generator - convert the internal application time, or MIDI clock, into FSK.

Let me know when you have something to release!

I have never implemented an FSK decoder, but I believe that it should be possible so long as the bandwidth and frequencies of the modulated signal do not exceed the Nyquist frequency. If you have a signal modulated on a MHz carrier, you'll need to shift this signal down to the audio range. An external receiver would be needed for this. However, there are certainly FSK schemes which are not modulated at such high frequencies, and thus you may not need any external electronics before the audio interface inputs. Just remember that you'll typically have only about 20 kHz bandwidth. You can have more if the

Oh, the radio receiver is already downshifting the signal. I have audio, well under 20 kHz. My question was more about the interface to an AudioUnit: obviously, samples come in, but my AU doesn't produce samples of audio data out; it produces a bit stream.


Does this fit within the model, or would I end up finding some other outlet for my data?

The reason an FSK demodulation AU seemed appropriate for this is that it does take audio data in. Furthermore, it might be preceded by filters or other DSP.
