5. 18 Month Biannual Technical Meeting Workpackage Progress  TSM/PSM – successfully integrated and operational  Video synchronised TSM integrated and operational i TSM VTSM

6. 18 Month Biannual Technical Meeting Further Modification  Link option for time and pitch scaling  Pitch change via transposition (requires Key sig estimate)  Time change via tempo change (requires tempo estimate)

7. 18 Month Biannual Technical Meeting Workpackage Progress Sound Source Separation  Source separation tool is fully developed and ready for integration Problem: DIT IP regulations will not allow code to be open source Solution: DLL for windows release and shared library for Linux release

8. 18 Month Biannual Technical Meeting Workpackage Progress Equalisation / Enhancement  Equalisation tool is fully developed and ready for integration The equalisation tool can be used to filter out tones and hums which are often present in archival formats such as magnetic tape. Alternately, the tool can be simply used to tailor the sound to a listeners taste and playback system

9. 18 Month Biannual Technical Meeting Workpackage Progress Equalisation / Enhancement Simple mode interaction uses 5 controls to increase or decrease the level of 5 fixed bands Advanced mode allows user to view the spectrum and draw the desired curve onto spectrum Demo to follow Integration – Mid December 07’

10. 18 Month Biannual Technical Meeting Upcoming Work Plan Months 19-30 Integrate EQ module Integrate Source Separation Work is ongoing w.r.t. “intelligent noise reduction” algorithms Evaluation / Benchmarking / User testing. Journal Publication planned for VTSM
