Re: [SoX-devel] [SoX-users] fir option to use SoX als offline convolver

[Schumacher M. <mar...@mu...>]

Hi there,

Picking up on this email from 2013 as I have a related question:
Just wanted to verify what is the limit of the number of coefficients for the “fir” effect? In my tests I empirically determined 65536 (2^16). Can anyone confirm this? Are there specific reasons for this limit or could it be changed for the next binary release? 

PS I'm using "fir" for convolution with impulse responses - hence, these applications are limited to the use of IRs which are shorter than this number of samples (about 1.5secs @44kHz ... which is rather short :-S)

Regards,
Marlon
