Sorry for having been harsh to your feelings, please show me my supposed insults. And, you know, even if I like people, I'm not in search of a fan club. So, straigth language doesn't disturb me. Falses notions irritate me a lot, I know I'm not perfect. And my english is not as refined as I would like it to be.On 2005-03-11 20:54, wayne wrote:
Man, the problem seems to be, false notions or not, that you set out to insult someone who has made an honest attempt at demystifying a plug.
Your knowledge is appreciated, unlike your manners.
Anyway, Hubird has now pointed what is the core and most important in the PsyQ, by this quote:
(...) controlled changes of the phase relationships of the high frequencies and harmonics.
This partial information (pedant and rather obscure) can be simplified and completed by: "aligning harmonics" on the fundamentals, by the way of controlled phase shifts (or "phase rotations", as I used this term perhaps too quickly and badly translated from the french technical laguage).
This means that existing relative high harmonics (and high frequencies partials) in the original sound are temporally advanced to be temporally aligned with the fundamentals lower frequencies in the sound. Then, instruments fundamentals and harmonics start coarsely "in the same time", unlike as with the original sound that has been corrected, and our ears like it very much (as our ears don't like very much when high frequencies harmonics and partials come too late relatively to the fundamentals: it sounds "dull"). Without intellectualy understanding the process, our ears and brain can feel and determine what are the good settings for this correction.
