Abstract
A system and method for controlling access to parameter blocks of a sound processor. According to the method and system disclosed herein, the present invention includes a host, a sound processor coupled to the host, and at least two copies of a parameter block associated with the sound data. The sound processor can access a first copy of the at least two copies while the host is accessing a second copy of the at least two copies. As a result, parameter blocks are freely updated by the host processor and freely read by the sound processor without conflict and without performance loss.
