Why KFR

It's Fast

KFR functions and algorithms are carefully designed and implemented for maximum performance

DSP, FFT and more

KFR has one of the fastest implementation of FFT as well as filter processing, filter design, convolution and resampling

Universal

It supports Intel, AMD, ARM and Apple cpus as well as all available SIMD for maximum speed on any device

  • It is open source and develops with the help of community
  • Writing your own algorithms based on KFR framework is easy
  • Its functions are constantly tested for correctness and accuracy
  • Trusted by companies, organisations and individual developers since 2016

Code examples and performance 

// perform real DFT/FFT
univector<float> input;
univector<complex<float>> output = realdft(input);

// Make lowpass filter using bessel function
auto filt = iir_lowpass(bessel<float>(12), 1000, 48000);
// Convert to second-order sections
auto bqs  = to_sos(filt);
// Apply filter using fast implementation
output    = biquad<12>(bqs, input);
