Patent ID: 7652208

Claim:
A system for enriching the timbre of audio signals, said system comprising: a plurality of incoming audio signals; a plurality of signal processors, wherein each signal processor of said plurality of signal processors receives one incoming audio signal of said plurality of incoming audio signals, wherein each signal processor of said plurality of signal processors induce a variable delay on a received incoming audio signal to generate a variable-delay audio signal, and wherein said variable delay is controlled by an oscillator signal generated by an associated low-frequency control oscillator; and a plurality of mixers, wherein each mixer of said plurality of mixers receives a variable-delay audio signal generated by an associated signal processor of said plurality of signal processors and at least one incoming audio signal of said plurality of incoming audio signals, wherein said at least one incoming audio signal includes all of said plurality of incoming audio signals, except for the particular incoming audio signal received at said associated signal processor, and wherein each mixer of said plurality of mixers generates an outgoing audio signal comprising a variable mix of received audio signals.
