A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for digital audio watermarking
of wavetable (WT) format audio, including downloadable sounds (DLS) (110),
are disclosed. Correspondingly, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program
product for extracting watermarks (126, 552) from a digital audio watermarked
WT audio (162, 510) are disclosed. In particular, a digital audio watermark
(126) is embedded (140, 130) in both articulation parameters (122)
and sample data (124) of a DLS (110). A finite automaton module (220)
is used to implement adaptive coding (130) of the sample data (124).
Virtual parameters (430) are generated for information hiding (140)
applied to the articulation parameters (122). Optionally, playback of the
WT (152) can be limited by an embedded control signal. Brief overviews of
MIDI and DLS are provided.
