Abstract:
1. A method for electronically processing sound from an audio source, comprising: a. causing a signal from a sound source to pass through an input amplifier and dividing the signal into two discrete signal paths, a first signal path and a second signal path; b. causing a first signal traveling through the first signal path to travel through a high pass filter and then dividing the first signal into two separate filtered signal paths, a first filtered signal path in which the a first filtered signal is delayed by a first delay means and then causing the delayed first filtered signal to pass through a first attenuator, and causing a second filtered signal which travels along a second filtered signal path to travel through a harmonics generators which generates harmonics and then be passed through a second attenuator, then combining the first and second filtered signals in a mixer; c. causing a second signal traveling through the second signal path to be delayed by a second delay means and then causing the delayed second signal to pass through a third attenuator and then combining the second delayed signal with the first and second filtered signals in the mixer; d. causing the harmonics generated in the harmonics generator to be advanced in time ahead of the delayed first filtered signal and the delayed second signal to make the effect of the harmonics more apparent and audible because the delays cause the harmonics to not be masked by lower frequencies; and e. causing the mixed signals to travel from the mixer through an output amplifier and then through an output transducer.
