Abstract
Apparatus for rendering a sound scene, including: a first pipeline stage including a first control layer and a reconfigurable first audio data processor, wherein the reconfigurable first audio data processor is configured to operate in accordance with a first configuration of the reconfigurable first audio data processor; a second pipeline stage located, with respect to a pipeline flow, subsequent to the first pipeline stage, the second pipeline stage including a second control layer and a reconfigurable second audio data processor, wherein the reconfigurable second audio data processor is configured to operate in accordance with a first configuration of the reconfigurable second audio data processor; and a central controller for controlling the first control layer and the second control layer in response to the sound scene, so that the first control layer prepares a second configuration of the reconfigurable first audio data processor during or subsequent to an operation of the reconfigurable first audio data processor in the first configuration of the reconfigurable first audio data processor, or so that the second control layer prepares a second configuration of the reconfigurable second audio data processor during or subsequent to an operation of the reconfigurable second audio data processor in the first configuration of the reconfigurable second audio data processor, and wherein the central controller is configured to control the first control layer or the second control layer using a switch control to reconfigure the reconfigurable first audio data processor to the second configuration for the reconfigurable first audio data processor or to reconfigure the reconfigurable second audio data processor to the second configuration for the reconfigurable second audio data processor at a certain time instant.
