The QS1000 is a high performance digital signal processor, producing accurate, realistic musical sound.
All the music synthesis algorithms are preset to make the most realistic acoustic sound and most control
parameters can be changed during the creation of music according to the General MIDI specification.
Also, built in HWASS proprietary decompression along with ATFA provides superb sound quality with
compressed sound memory, thereby preserving sound quality and realism. The QS1000 is an ideal device
to make sound generation (ex) Musical Instrument, Karaoke Machine, MIDI, Module, PC Sound card. ...etc)

FUNCTION OVERVIEW
QS1000
The QS1000 is a specialized digital signal
processor(QDSP which generate high quality,
realistic sound. The QS1000 musical
synthesizer contains all the necessary modules
to create acoustic sound, and each module’s
parameters can be modified for individual
voices during the creation of sound. To make
best and simplest MIDI interpreter interface,
QS1000 has an advanced parameter selfextracting module. Due to internal module, the
32 voices of music truly play back at 44.1khz
without any play back frequency degradation or
quality loss of sound.
The HWASS ATFA along with method are
highly balanced to create functional module.
All the functional module parameters are
automatically extracted and modified without
put commands during each voice of music
generation. The Low Frequency Oscillator
deeper timbre sensation to produce better effect
sound. The high performance of the internal
multistage filter with 128 different cutoff
frequency levels along with 2-dimensional
envelope generator make possible the closest
recreation of acoustic sound.
The QS1000 decompression module reconverts
the original true 16 bit sampled sound data
using compressed sound data. The internal
16bit Q-PCM data produces the best quality of
sound at 44.1khz playback by using internal 32
bit data paths for each module, along with an
auto looping sequencer, which is capable of
handling 1~1 million auto reload looping
sequences, non-looping sequence, and one short
looping sequence.
The QS1000 digital Q-filter is implemented to
support variable frequencies for each voice from
12db to 96db to archive most optimal sound
characteristic. With this Q-filter, each sound at
playback can be produced more clearly and
naturally with small amount of sound data; also,
intriguing musical effects can be obtained by
time varying filter control. Due to the high
performance of the Q-filter, more realistic patc h
split, after-touch, and breath effects can be
archive by cross mapping the Q-filter with
either the by note or by velocity MIDI
parameter.
The Qs 1000 automatic power management
module is the most advanced control unit to
archive maximum power saving during sound
creation or DSP stand by operation mode.
With this module, the device operating
reliability is expanded beyond industrial
specification and operational environment for
all QS1000 application fields.
The use of HWA SS Q -PCM t echnol ogy, the 16
bit sound sampling data is compressed with 8:1
ratio, allows lower cost of sound memory
without sound degradation.
The QS1000 cpu module contained all then
necessary interface logic, cpu data memory, cpu
program memory to minimize overall system
integration cost. To achieve minimum cpu hand
shake during operation time, all generation and
recreation of sound parameters is done by self
controlled hardware inside the module instead
of depend upon cpu hand shake to receive
internal synthe siz e par ameters to continue sound
generation operation
