Methods and apparatus are disclosed for reducing discontinuities between frames of sinusoidally modeled acoustic waveforms, such as speech, which occur when sampling at low frame rates. A Fast Fourier Transform-based overlap-add technique is applied to amplitude, frequency and phase components of sinusoidal waves after frame-to-frame sine wave matching has been performed. Matched sine wave amplitudes and frequencies are linearly interpolated and a mid-point phase is estimated such that the mid-frame sine wave is best fit to the most recent half-frame segments of the lagging and leading sine waves. Synthetic mid-frame sine waves are generated using the interpolated amplitude and frequency and estimated phase values. Synthesized acoustic waveforms of high quality from original source waveforms can be produced in sinusoidal analysis/synthesis operations at coding frame rates of 50 Hz and lower. The methods and devices disclosed herein are particularly useful for computationally efficient coding and synthesis of speech waveforms.
