Description
FREQUENCY SPECTRUM CONVERSION TO NATURAL
HARMONIC FREQUENCIES PROCESS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[1] Harmonic studies of frequency sets related to nature, natural events (phenomena),
elements, astronomy, mathematics, and human form have been useful in identification
of vibrations related to science, mechanics, medicine, psychology and human
functions.
[2] Two common aspects of frequency sets are music and musical scales.
[3] The standard musical frequency for the fourth octave of 'A' in musical instruments
such as the piano is presently 440Hz (Hz = cycles per standard second). Equal
temperament into a l/12th interval is the way that all modern keyboard instruments are
manufactured. This standard has been in use throughout the 20th century. However,
this choice is not necessarily correct or harmonically tuned to nature.
[4] Scientific author, Isaac Asimov, has stated that music is made of musical intervals,
(octaves, fourths, fifths, etc.) The exact frequency and exact harmonic sets are not the
basis of music; it is the alternation of intervals that is perceived as a melody and
harmonic chord structure. The choice of A=440Hz for the calibration of music is to a
degree arbitrary.
[5] Composers and performers of the past had no such standards. A Mozart or Bach
would simply listen to a note and intuitively decide that it sounded 'right' to them with
the choice made; they would have all the players of the ensemble adjust to the chosen
tuning. This method was satisfactory for most early instrumental families. The in-
troduction of polyphonic keyboard instruments such as the harpsichord and later the
piano presented a new problem with intuitive tunings. The numerous individual strings
were too difficult to adjust quickly, and therefore the need for standard tuning arose.
To facilitate the need for standards, we use A=440Hz today.
[6] But, what of tunings that seemed natural to these composers of centuries ago?
Many other cultures do not use western methods of tuning. Was there something lost
with the creation of modern standards? Remember, music is defined by intervals not
necessarily frequency. Is there a 'right or correct' note?
[7] In 1975 researcher Wesley H. Bateman began studies of many ancient building
sites world wide, particularly the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt. This work has
spanned the last 25 years, from which he has rediscovered the mathematical system
used by the original architects in defining the measurements of all aspects of the
ancient structure. He has titled this system The Ra System (© 1987) and the units of
measure derived from it the 'Rods of Amon Ra' (© 1987), named for the ancient
Egyptian sun god 'Amon Ra.' In fact the Ra System of mathematics has proven to be
the natural system of mathematics which nature uses to describe itself. Among the

mathematical properties contained in the "Ra System' are formats of frequency and
resonance that relate to nature and natural events. These are mathematically perfect
sets that are used by nature. Presently, we know of nine Ra mathematical formats.
. Each format has its own version for all of the known mathematical constants such as:
Pi, Phi, Balmer constant for hydrogen, Rydberg constant for hydrogen, and the speed
of light - to name just a few.
[8] In the fall of 1975, while engaged in e.e.g. biofeedback research Bateman came
upon a scientific paper written by Drs. C. Polk and F. Fitchen of the University of
Rhode Island. The paper was titled: 'The Schumann Resonances of the Earth-
Ionosphere Cavity - Extremely Low Frequency Reception at Kingston Rhode Island.'
The report can be found in the Journal of Research of the National Bureau of
Standards - D Radio Propagation - Vol. 66D, No. 3, May - June, 1962.
[9] That paper described the instrumentation that was used at the time to receive and
record extremely low frequency electromagnetic wave trains (elf waves) that are a by-
product of lightning strikes occurring all over the Earth. The elf waves are contained
within the natural resonance cavity (wave-guide) composed of the surface of the Earth
and the 'D' layer of the ionosphere. The resonance cavity of the Earth is analogous to
the resonance cavity of a guitar or violin.
[10] His interest in lightning generated elf waves was heightened when he realized that
the waves had the same frequencies, frequency averages and wave shapes (envelopes)
as do human brain waves. The frequency range of the elf waves is between 0.02 cycles
per second (Hz) and 13.5 Hz. The most frequently occurring elf wave frequency is
10.6 Hz. The frequency of 10.6 Hz is very important to the present invention.
[11] The human brain produces 4 distinct brain wave patterns that are named after letters
from the Greek alphabet. These brain wave patterns along with their frequencies are
described below:
[12] Delta: 0.02 Hz up to and including 3 Hz. A person who is either asleep or un-
conscious produces delta brain waves.
[13] Theta: 3 Hz up to and including 7 Hz. A person who is either asleep or unconscious
also generates Theta waves. Theta waves have been linked to the state of dreaming that
is accompanied by 'rapid eye movement' (REM sleep). Hyperactive children have been
known to produce Theta waves while awake.
[14] Alpha: 7 Hz up to and including 13.5 Hz. Alpha brain waves are generated when a
person is relaxed or in a state of meditation.
[15] Beta : 13.5 Hz. to 27 Hz. A person produces Beta waves when awake and totally
aware of the world around them. Brain waves above 27 Hz. are known to occur on
occasion and are called 'High Beta.'
[16] The most frequently generated Alpha brain wave produced by a meditating person
is 10.6 Hz. As stated above, 10.6 Hz is also the most frequently occurring lightning
generated elf wave. In addition, the last frequency of Alpha brain waves and the first

WO 2006/130867 PCT/US2006/021584
3
ceiling frequency of the elf waves are in both cases 13.5 Hz. In October 1975, Wes
Bateman discovered a relationship between these frequencies and the mathematical
constant Pi (3.1415926). The ratio of 10.6 Hz to 13.5 Hz is 0.785185185, The ratio
0.785185185 is almost directly proportional to Pi (3.1415926), i.e., 0.785185185 x 4 =
3.1407407. This relationship demonstrates that brain wave frequencies are Pi-based.
[17] Similar to the relationship between alpha brain wave/elf wave frequencies and the
mathematical constant Pi, Wes Bateman also discovered a proportional relationship
between the last frequency of Alpha brain waves or the first ceiling frequency of the
elf wave phenomenon (which is in both cases 13.5 cycles per n.s.t.) and the
mathematical constant Phi. When 13.5 cycles per n.s.t. is multiplied by 12 the result is
1.62. This result is very close in value to the number 1.61803389 (Phi). Phi and its
associated Fibonacci ratios are found in the proportions and shapes of every living
thing, including humans.
[18] The above proportional relationships led Mr. Bateman to the conclusion that our
brains function on the order of Pi and our bodies are proportioned on the order of Phi.
Knowing that both Pi and Phi are well known constants that relate to the geometry of
the Great Pyramid of Giza, Mr. Bateman under took a full time 25-year study of the
ancient structure. This long term study led to the discovery of the Ra System of
mathematics.
[19] The Nine Known Ra formats
[20] While studying the geometry of the Great Pyramid of Egypt Wes Bateman en-
countered several numbers that were close in value to the square root of 2. These
numbers were: 1.41371666 - - - and 1.414710633. Note that 1.41371666 - - - x
1.414710633 = 2. These numbers were arbitrarily named Red and Blue numbers. The
actual value of the square root of 2 is 1.414213562. This value was then named a
Green number; Red, Blue and Green being the basic constituents of the color white.
[21] After considerable research it was realized that the Ra System of Mathematics
consists of at least 9 formats. The names of the nine known Ra formats and their
related values of Pi are as follows: Omega Major; Alpha Major; Hydrogen Major;
Blue; Green; Red; Hydrogen Minor; Alpha Minor; and Omega Minor. There is a re-
lationship between each of the mirror image formats (Omega Major/Omega Minor -
Alpha Major/Alpha Minor - Hydrogen Major/Hydrogen Minor - Blue/Red) and the
central format (Green).
[22] For the sake of brevity 5 values for the square root of 2 and five values for Pi are
seen in the chart below:


WO 2006/130867 PCT/US2006/021584
4

[23] The names corresponding values of Pi for each of the nine Ra formats are as
follows:
[24] Omega Major: 3.160493830
[25] Alpha Major: 3.156746446
[26] Hydrogen Major: 3.14928
[27] Blue: 3.143801409
[28] Green: 3.142696807
[29] Red: 3.141592592---
[30] Hydrogen Minor: 3.136127372
[31] Alpha Minor: 3.128709695
[32] Omega Minor: 3.125
[33] Note: Omega Minor Pi x Omega Major Pi = 9.87654321 (Green Pi squared) or Red
Pi x Blue Pi = 9.87654321 (Green Pi squared). The Green format is the central format.
[34] From the list above, the ratios that relate one format to another can be easily
calculated by multiplying the corresponding related values (i.e., Major/Minor or Blue/
Red) and comparing the number to the square of Green Pi.
[35] In the Ra system of mathematics, the units of measurement are the Ram (which ap-
proximates the meter in size), the Ra foot (1/3 of a Ram), and Ra inches (1/12 of a Ra
foot and 1/40 of a Ram). As will be explained below, there are different Rams for each
Ra format.
[36] When dealing with frequencies one is dealing with time (cycles per second). Mr.
Bateman's studies led to the realization that nature uses a unit of time - or natural se
cond of time (n.s.t.) - that is slightly longer in duration than the standard second we
presently employ. In the Ra System of Mathematics, the speed of light is 300,000.00
Omega Major kilorams per n.s.t. The speed of light in kilometers has been measured
and found to be 299,792.456081 kilometers per standard second (+/- 1m). Therefore
the duration of the n.s.t. is 1.000692286 standard seconds in length. This ratio is used
to convert Ra musical frequencies from cycles per n.s.t. to cycles per standard second
of time.
[37] Using this conversion from standard seconds to n.s.t., the average Alpha brain wave
or average elf wave frequency is 10.602875 cycles per n.s.t. Employing the same re-
lationship to Pi demonstrated above, the ratio of 10.602875 cycles per n.s.t. to 13.5 Hz
■ =0.7853981481-and-0.7853981481 x 4 = 3.141592592.
[38] The numbers: 10.602875 and 3.141592592 - - - are Red numbers. In fact, as will be
described more fully below, 106.02875 cycles per n.s.t. (about 10 times the average
Alpha brain wave or average elf wave frequency) is the second octave of Red 'A'.
[39] The Ra formats apply not only to frequencies, but to electronic waves, broadcast
frequency, computer systems, wave structures, biorhythms, brain waves, bio-electrical
functions, botany, Earth and astronomical sciences. Other possible applications include

WO 2006/130867 PCT/US2006/021584
artificial intelligence, computer sciences, broadcast, entertainment, space-time, human
and veterinary medicine, chemistry, biology, botanical-agriculture (both land and sea),
mining, manufacturing, aviation, air, sea and space navigation, communications -
terrestrial / space, Earth and astronomical sciences. The relevance of each application
is still to be determined. These discoveries are truly 'Universal'.
[40] Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a unique process to convert
frequencies of standard musical notes into frequencies having a greater appeal to a
listener.
[41] It is a further object to provide a device incorporating this process.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[42] This present invention comprises an electronic device - called the 'Pyramid
Processor' - and a corresponding method that converts musical notes from standard
frequencies to Ra format frequencies. The conversion of standard musical notes
measured in cycles per standard seconds to Ra musical notes measured in cycles per
standard seconds is based on two very important factors:
[43] 1. The ratios that exist between the various Ra formats that raise the converted
music to a higher level of mathematical harmony and listening pleasure (evident either
as a single Ra format or when the same note of 2, 3 or more different Ra formats are
layered and heard simultaneously). This is a unique change from standard tone music
which has only 1 frequency for each note on the standard 'A - 440' scale.
[44] 2. The unique electronic functions built into the Pyramid Processor that assure that
the converted standard musical tones are a true representation of the Ra tones
measured in cycles per standard seconds and thus identical to Ra tones that could
otherwise be measured exactly in natural seconds.
[45] The apparatus for converting the frequency of standard musical notes to a cor-
responding frequency of Ra format musical notes comprises a processor having a
signal input port and a signal output port, means for converting the frequency of
standard musical notes to a corresponding frequency of Ra musical notes, means for
selecting a Ra format natural harmonic resonance, and a frequency analyzer. The
means for converting may comprise a software program or a hardware configuration
containing all Ra format natural harmonic resonances. The means for selecting a Ra
format natural harmonic resonance may comprise means for selecting two or more Ra
format natural harmonic resonances and may comprise a switch, a dial, or multiple
buttons having positions corresponding to each of the nine Ra formats. The apparatus
may be connected to an audio device, i.e., a tuner or a computer, for transmission of a
signal of standard musical notes and receipt of a signal of converted Ra format musical
notes. The apparatus may also comprise means for recording an output signal, i.e., tape
recorder, CD burner, computer hard drive,
[46] The process for converting standard musical notes to Ra format musical notes
comprises inputting a signal of standard musical notes, each note having a frequency,

WO 2006/130867 PCT/US2006/021584
analyzing the frequency of each note in the signal of standard musical notes, selecting
a Ra format natural harmonic resonance, converting the frequency of each note in the
signal standard musical notes to a frequency of Ra format musical notes corresponding
to the selected Ra format natural harmonic resonance, and outputting a signal of Ra
format musical notes consisting of each of the converted notes. The process may
further comprise a step of analyzing the frequency of each of the converted notes prior
to the outputting step. The input signal may be either analog or digital, but an analog
signal should be converted to a digital signal before converting the notes to a Ra
format. The process may involve the conversion of signals of standard musical notes
consisting of two or more audio channels which are each converted to a Ra format.
The two or more audio channels of an output signal of Ra format musical notes may be
layered as different audio channels are commonly layered, i.e., stereo, surround, etc.
[47] Where as the two factors are essential for the hardware of the Pyramid Processor to
electronically convert standard note music frequencies to Ra standard note music
frequencies - no other variation of these factors will permit the Pyramid Processor or
another device to do so. These factors form the basis for either a hard wired program
or a software program that provides the same data to any variation of the Pyramid
Processor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[55] In the case of Ra music there are 9 frequency values for the 'A' musical tone, 9
values for the 'B' musical tone etc. That is: Red 'A', Green 'A', Blue 'A', Omega Major
'A', Omega Minor 'A', Hydrogen Major 'A', Hydrogen Minor 'A', Alpha Major 'A', and
Alpha Minor 'A'. The frequency of Red 'A' x the frequency of Blue 'A' equals the
frequency of Green 'A' squared. This rule is true for any 2 mirror format values of 'A'
or for any other Ra musical tones which are located in their respective mirrored
formats.

[56] When Johann Sebastian Bach laid out the even-tempered clavichord he intuitively
separated the notes by Ra value ratios. Therefore Bach's ratios are perfectly valid for
the 9 Ra musical scales. The Bach Ratios are:

[57] The conversion of standard musical notes measured in cycles per standard seconds
to Ra musical notes measured in cycles per standard seconds is based on two very
important factors:
[58] 1. The ratios that exist between the various Ra formats that raise the converted
music to a higher level of mathematical harmony and listening pleasure (evident either
as a single Ra format or when the same note of 2, 3 or more different Ra formats are
layered and heard simultaneously). This is a unique change from standard tone music
which has only 1 frequency for each note on the standard 'A - 440' scale.
[59] 2. The unique electronic functions built into the Pyramid Processor that assure that
the converted standard musical tones are a true representation of the Ra tones
measured in cycles per standard seconds and thus identical to Ra tones that could
otherwise be measured exactly in natural seconds.
[60] Using the Ra System of mathematics and the formulas described above, the
conversion ratios presented in FIG. 3 and reproduced below, may be used to convert
any octave of'A' in A440 to the corresponding Ra format:

[61 ] Then, the Bach ratios described above may be used to convert the 'A' in Ra format
to any other note, i.e., 'B', 'C, 'D', 'E', 'F', or 'G'.

WO 2006/130867 PCT/US2006/021584

[62] The above conversion ratios are determined by calculating the frequency of a note
as defined in the Ra system and generating the ratio for ease of repeatability.
Calculating the frequency of a note as defined in the Ra system is accomplished in the
following manner.
[63] To calculate the frequency for each note in a Ra format, one must roll out a Pi
wheel having the corresponding Ra format unit diameter as depicted in FIG. 1. The
distance laid out per degree of the circle is used in a calculation to determine a cor-
responding note frequency in Ra format.
[64] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the length of the circumference of a wheel with 1
Red unit diameter is 3.141592592 - - - Red units (Red Pi). The distance traveled over a
certain number of degrees corresponds to a specific octave of a particular note. The
number of degrees for the 1st octave of each note are as follows:

[65] The corresponding distances traveled for each of these degrees of rotation for each
of the nine Ra formats are shown in FIGS. 2A through 21. Mathematically, the
distances are calculated by dividing the number of degrees by 360 and multiplying that
value by the value of Pi for the corresponding Ra format. In the case of FIG. 1 and
referring to FIG. 2E, the distance traveled for note 'C' is 72.9° + 360° x Red
Pi(3.141592 ), which equals 0.6361725. One hundred times any of these distance
values gives the corresponding Ra format frequency for that note in the first octave.
For the 1st octave of Red 'C', this value is 63.61725 cycles per second.
[66] Each successive octave is obtained by multiplying the frequency of the previous
octave by 2, i.e., 1st octave Red 'C' is 63.61725 Hz and the 2nd octave Red 'C' is
127.2345 Hz. In addition, each successive octave may be calculated by multiplying the
degrees to obtain the successive octave, i.e., the second octave of 'C' is 145.8° (72.9° x
2) and the third octave of 'C' is 291.6° (145.8° x 2). However, due to the large number
of decimal places, calculating successive octaves by the later method increases
mathematical error.
[67] The 4th octave of D' is 656.1 (2^3 x 82.0125) degrees of rotation. There are 656.1
Ra milli-microns in the Balmer m3 spectral line of hydrogen (visible).
[68] The 6th octave of 'D' is 2624.4 (2^5 x. 82.0125) degrees of rotation. There are
2624.4 Ra milli-microns in the Brackett m3 spectral line for hydrogen (deep infra red).

WO 2006/130867 PCT/US2006/021584

[69] The 3rd octave of 'E' is 364.5 (2^2 x 91.125) degrees of rotation. The Balmer
Constant is 91.125.
[70] The 1st octave of 'F' is 97.2 degrees of rotation. There are 97.2 Ra milli-microns in
the Lyman m4 spectral line of hydrogen (visible).
[71] The 2nd octave of 'F' is 194.4 (2^1 x 97.2) degrees of rotation. There are 194.4 Ra
milli-microns in the Brackett m8 spectral line of hydrogen (deep infra red).
[72] The 3rd octave of 'F' is 388.8 (2^2 x 97.2) degrees of rotation. There are 388.8 Ra
milli-microns in the Balmer m8 spectral line of hydrogen (visible).
[73] The 1st octave of 'G' is 109.35 degrees of rotation. There are 109.35 Ra milli-
microns in the Paschen m6 spectral line of hydrogen (near infra red).
[74] The 4th octave of A is 486 (2^3 x 60.75) degrees of rotation. There are 486 Ra
milli-microns in the Balmer m.4 spectral line of hydrogen (visible).
[75] The 2nd octave of A is 121.5 (2^1 x 60.75) degrees of rotation. There are 121.5 Ra
milli-microns in the Lyman m2 spectral line of hydrogen (ultra violet). The most
intense spectral line of hydrogen is 121.5 Ra milli-microns. The related Red 'A'
frequency of 106.02875 approximates the average alpha wave produced by a
meditating human being and the most frequently occurring elf wave generated by
lightning. This is the Ra base line frequency from which all other harmonious Ra
musical tones are derived.
[76] The ratio of a n.s.t. to a standard second is used to convert Ra musical frequencies
from cycles per n.s.t. to cycles per standard second of time. Musical instruments may
be tuned to standard Ra tones in order to produce pleasing musical renditions. In
addition, vintage musical recordings of any type may be processed (translated) to Ra
tones per standard second seconds electronically by the Pyramid Processor and then re-
recorded for repeated listening.
[77] The Green Ra Tone Scale - Natural and Standard
[78] The Ra formats relate to many aspects of nature and science. One relationship to be
estimated is musical notes and their conversion to natural frequencies. In the Green Ra
format, the following 1st octave frequencies have been calculated per natural second of
time (n.s.t.):

[79] In the Green Ra format, the following 1st octave frequencies have been calculated

WO 2006/130867 PCT/US2006/021584
10
per standard second of time (s.s.t.):

[80] Another method to find the tonal frequencies for the other Ra formats is to use the
ratios that are evident when the Pi values of each format are mathematically compared
to the Pi value for the Green format. For example, standard Green 'A' is 52.9963197
cycles per second. The ratio of Red Pi to Green Pi is 3.141592 - 3.142696805 and that
value multiplied by 52.9963197 cycles per second equals 52.977699 cycles per second.
The standard Red 'A' is 52.977699 cycles per second. Figures 2A through 21 show the
calculated conversion for the 1st Octave of all nine Ra formats.
[81] Method for producing musical frequencies in all 9 Ra formats
[82] Having determined the natural values of the frequency of notes in standard seconds,
the following will convert a composition or other series of musical notes into a Ra
format based composition.

[83] This conversion can be precisely demonstrated for all the values of the musical
notes in the various Ra format scales. The table in FIG. 3 provides such a conversion
for the note 'A' in the second and fourth octaves for all nine Ra formats.
[84] The Pyramid Processor itself consists of 2 main parts: 1) a uniquely designed

WO 2006/130867 PCT/US2006/021584
11
electronic device that recognizes standard forms of musical notes (frequencies) that
were previously recorded on any type of existing recording medium; and 2) a hard
wired or software program containing all Ra frequency scales.
[85] The Pyramid Processor allows a user to select a single or any combination of
compatible Ra frequency scales i.e., Green, Red, Blue, Red-Blue, and Red-
Blue-Green, etc. It has been found that the formats of Red, Blue, and Green, in any
combination or individually produce, the most pleasing sounds to a human being,
although any of the nine Ra formats will operate under the present invention.
[86] During processing under the present invention, the frequencies of notes in standard
music are converted into Ra frequencies as illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 4. The
result of the music conversion process is then saved or re-recorded for playback. This
process can be either a real-time event or a non real-time event. Also it can be
configured as a stand-alone device precisely related to uniquely designed software that
is running as a program on a computer.
[87] FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic block diagram of the apparatus 10, of the present
invention. An apparatus for converting the frequency of standard musical notes to a
corresponding frequency of Ra format musical notes, i.e., the Pyramid Processor 10,
comprising a processor 12 having a signal input port 14 for receiving a signal of
standard musical notes and a signal output port for outputting a signal of Ra format
musical notes. The processor 12 includes means for converting 22 the frequency of
standard musical notes to a corresponding frequency of Ra musical notes using one of
the conversion methods described above. The processor 12 also includes a means for
selecting 18 a Ra format natural harmonic resonance. The Ra format natural harmonic
resonance corresponds to a specific Ra format, i.e., Red, Green, Blue, etc., to which
the apparatus will convert the standard musical notes. The apparatus 10 may also
include a frequency analyzer 26 to determine the frequency of notes in the signal of
standard musical notes as well as confirm the frequency of notes in the signal of Ra
format musical notes.
[88] The means for converting 22 may comprise either a software program containing
conversions and/or frequencies for all Ra format natural harmonic resonances or
hardware containing all Ra format natural harmonic resonances. The means for
selecting 18 a Ra format natural harmonic resonance may comprise a switch, a dial, or
multiple buttons having positions corresponding to a single Ra format or combinations
of multiple Ra formats. As described above, the Pyramid Processor 10 may be
configured to convert multiple audio channels into multiple corresponding Ra formats.
[89] The signal input port 14 may be connected to a microphone for receiving a real time
audio signal or may be connected to an audio device, i.e., a stereo receiver, for
converting an audio signal from a non-real time event, i.e., prerecorded tape, compact
disc, computer fde, etc. The signal output port 16 may likewise be connected to
another audio device, i.e., stereo receiver, for reproduction of the converted signal

WO 2006/130867 PCT/US2006/021584
12
through the stereo speakers or re-recording of the converted signal. The means for
recording may comprise a tape deck, CD burner, or other known recording device.
[90] As shown in FIG. 4, the apparatus 10 that converts or shifts the frequencies of
'Standard' tunings to 'Natural' tunings has a flow chart as follows:
[91] Original Signal => Conversion Module => Converted Signal
[92] With reference to FIG. 4, the process employed in a Pyramid Processor device
having a single channel is illustrated. Either a digital signal/software file (420) or an
input of an original analog signal (410) which is then converted to a digital signal by a
converter (415) is input into the Pyramid Processor. Whichever signal is input is then
analyzed by a digital frequency analyzer (425). A Ra format for a natural harmonic
resonance is selected (430) and a digital frequency converter converts the digital
frequency to the setting determined by the Ra format natural harmonic resonance
(435). The Pyramid Processor then outputs the converted digital signal (440). A second
digital frequency analyzer may be used to confirm that the digital signal has been
properly converted (445). The digital signal file is then output (450), or converted to an
analog signal (455) and then output (460).
[93] In modern audio production and reproduction, the signal path is anywhere from a
single signal path to multiple signal paths or channels, i.e., right, left, center, surround,
etc. This is to provide separate signal paths for each audio component. Therefore a
conversion system would have multiple signal paths and processing as shown below:
[94] Original signal 1 => Conversion Module 1 => Converted Signal 1
[95] Original signal 2 => Conversion Module 2 => Converted Signal 2
[96] Original signal 3 => Conversion Module 3 => Converted Signal 3
[97] Original signal 4 => Conversion Module 4 => Converted Signal 4
[98] Original signal 5 => Conversion Module 5 => Converted Signal 5
[99] Original signal N => Conversion Module N => Converted Signal N
[100] This would be true for 'N' numbers of channels that are necessary for any ap-
plication.
[101] FIG. 5 illustrates the process of converting a multi-channel, or multiple signal
inputs. Essentially, the same process steps listed above are taken and repeated for each
channel or signal input. These can then be simultaneously output and layered to create
a stereo or multi-channel effect.
[102] Although an embodiment has been described and illustrated, it should not be
construed as limiting the scope of the invention as various modifications may be made
without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
