Abstract
A method, system and computer product for allowing efficient user interaction with digital time-based signals. User control and filter information (symbolic, procedural or a combination of both) are optimized for greatly improving calculating efficiency. First, filters are symbolically optimized. Then, a single optimized procedure is generated and compiled into an optimized procedure code. The procedure code then processes the input signal according to control information.
