Processor for generating a prediction spectrum based on long-term prediction and/or harmonic post-filtering

A processor for processing an (encoded) audio signal, the processor comprising:an LTP buffer configured to receive samples derived from a frame of the encoded audio signal;an interval splitter configured to divide a time interval associated with a subsequent frame of the encoded audio signal into sub-intervals depending on the encoded pitch parameter;calculation means configured to derive sub-interval parameters from the encoded pitch parameter dependent on a position of the sub-intervals within the time interval associated with the subsequent frame of the encoded audio signal;a predictor configured for generating a prediction signal from the LTP buffer dependent on the sub-interval parameters; anda frequency domain transformer configured for generating a prediction spectrum (X_P) based on the prediction signal;and/or the processor comprising:a splitter configured for splitting a time interval associated with a frame of the audio signal into a plurality of sub-intervals, each having a respective length, the respective length of the plurality of sub-intervals being dependent on a pitch lag value;a harmonic post-filter configured for filtering the plurality of sub-intervals, wherein the harmonic post-filter is based on a transfer function comprising a numerator and a denominator, where the numerator comprises a harmonicity value, and wherein the denominator comprises a pitch lag value and the harmonicity value and/or a gain value.
