An Overview of the <strong>Huron</strong> Digital<br />

Audio Workstation<br />

Figure 1 — The <strong>Huron</strong> system<br />

The <strong>Huron</strong> Digital Audio Convolution Workstation is an<br />

extremely powerful and modular general purpose signal<br />

processing engine for professional audio systems. It is designed<br />

around a 256 channel digital audio data bus. Interfacing with<br />

this bus are a combination of <strong>Huron</strong> Digital Signal Processing<br />

(DSP) boards and <strong>Huron</strong> Input and Output (I/O) boards. This<br />

specialised hardware is controlled by an industry standard PC<br />

host system.<br />

<strong>Huron</strong> specialises in — but is not limited to — applications<br />

which demand real time convolution, such as complex audio<br />

simulation and virtual reality audio. The <strong>Huron</strong> may be<br />

configured to process applications that require from two<br />

channels to more than 64 channels.<br />

Lake Software provides a simple graphical interface through<br />

which it is possible to run a variety of Lake designed audio<br />

engineering tools. Additionally, Lake provides a C++ Library<br />

interface for custom application programming.<br />
