Audio FFT Filter Banks

Julius Smith
DAFx-2009 - Como
FFT-based nonuniform filter banks are proposed based on channelsized inverse FFTs applied to nonuniform frequency-partitions (or overlap-add decompositions) of the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT). Audio filter banks (particularly octave filter banks) are considered as application examples. Trade-offs discussed include perfect reconstruction, aliasing cancellation, flexibility of filterchannel band edges, use of the FFT for speed, multirate timedomain channel signals, time-varying filtering, and associated issues.
