signal processors
Waveform manipulation devices
Signal processors are devices or software that modify, analyze, or transform signals—typically audio, video, or electronic data.
In audio production, signal processors include equalizers, compressors, and reverb units that shape sound: The guitarist ran her signal through a chain of processors.
Digital signal processors (DSPs) are specialized chips designed for real-time mathematical operations on streaming data, found in everything from smartphones to medical imaging equipment.
