The '''software effect processor''' is a computer program which is able to modify the sound coming from a source of sound in real-time.

==Principle of operation==

The audio signal from the input is transformed to the digital (a stream of numbers) in audio hardware and passed to a piece of computer memory, called [[buffer |buffers]]s. Then it is modified according to a specific algorithm, which creates the desired effect. After this operation, the signal is transformed from digital to analog and sent to the output.

===Latency===

====Apple Mac OS X====

All the Mac compatible hardware uses CoreAudio drivers, so the software effects processors can work with small latency and good performance.
