The music of Ainur.

The music of Ainur.

Despite numerous updates over the years, one of Android’s key audio subsystem components has remained gridlocked. The native sampler’s prioritization of computation speed over quality leads to forced oversampling, a constrained temporal domain, and limited precision. As a result, the signal’s sonic characteristics and spectral integrity are compromised, allowing quantization errors and artifacts to surface, diminishing the authenticity of the audio experience.

Stock

Ainulindale

Forced resampling reduces temporal and spectral resolution, introduces quantization noise, interpolation artifacts, phase distortions, and loss of harmonic detail — subtly degrading the fidelity. With Ainulindale at its core, Silmaril addresses this long-standing challenge by dynamically looping back the input rate to the output, effectively locking the system into 1:1 sampling. This preserves the original signal’s timing, phase accuracy, and spectral detail exactly as intended, securing a pure, transparent playback & authentic sound experience.

Additionally, to ensure no bottlenecks remain, Ainulindale enhances frequency selectivity by increasing temporal domain resolution. This firmly secures every intricate variation within the signal, preserving the finest nuances and ensuring the most delicate layers of sound remain intact. By safeguarding these subtle details, Ainulindale encapsulates the full emotional spectrum of the sound, flourishing with fidelity & spacious sonic depth.

With Ainulindale at its core, Silmaril is dedicated to preserving audio’s true fidelity and spacious sonic depth. The refinement process kicks off with a double-precision, adaptive series expansion calculation. Unlike the default’s simplified polynomial shortcut — Ainulindale delivers exceptional clarity across a wider spectrum, with whisper-quiet noise floor and minimal distortion. It then ramps up frequency selectivity with increased temporal domain resolution, encapsulating the finest nuances of the sound. This firm control secures every subtle variation and intricate layer stays intact, preserving details that might otherwise fade away.

Improved accuracy

Higher temporal resolution enhances the alignment of frequency components and phase relationships. This improvement is especially crucial in audio, where precise phase coherence is vital for correct stereo imaging. The enhanced phase alignment also minimizes the risk of phase cancellation, ensuring that characteristics of the audio are maintained. This leads to reduced harmonic distortion, retained tonal nuances, timbre and richness.

Increased precision

Higher temporal resolution enhances the granularity of sampling points, allowing for better tracking of rapid changes in the waveform. This enhanced resolution minimizes timing discrepancies, ensuring that each sample accurately captures transient events without introducing timing errors. The increased precision ensures that fine details, such as harmonic overtones and subtle micro-dynamics, are preserved with minimal distortion, allowing for a more faithful signal free from phase misalignment or temporal drift.

Enhanced detail

Higher temporal resolution captures finer, high-frequency signal variations, including brief amplitude changes, rapid micro-dynamics, phase shifts, and fast transients. This results in a more nuanced signal, allowing subtle elements like percussive hits, fine reverberations, and quick dynamic shifts to be preserved with greater clarity. The ability to capture these fleeting details ensures that intricate sound textures are fully reproduced, leading to complex and detailed soundscapes with exceptional fidelity.

Reduced artifacts

Higher temporal resolution allows for more data points available for placing samples, which significantly reduces the risk of common sampling artifacts such as aliasing, quantization noise, and time-domain smearing, that affect whole frequency spectrum. By increasing the discrete points density, temporal artifacts are minimized, resulting in a clear and artifact-free audio.
