APPENDIX 1, THE HAAS EFFECT
The principal ideas behind these combinations take their roots in the so called “Haas
effect” or “principal of first arrival”:
Thankfully, most of us are born with the gift of being able to hear quite easily from
where in a circular sphere around us a given sound originates.
Try fix your eyes on a point right in front of you, then close your eyes, and notice the
position of a sound source near you, then turn around and stop where you hear the
same sound image again, open your eyes and see - the fixpoint is right in front of
you. - From this we can conclude that you can tell quite precisely from where a
sound comes - No matter that wherever you were in your circular movement the
sound source still sounded with unchanged volume.
Sound travels through air with a speed of approx. 340 m/sec. and it is our brainwork
with the sound arriving at slightly different times to each ear directly from the source
and the reflections of the sound, (reverberations) arriving a little later, that enables us
to tell from where the sound originated.
--- Thus is, we hear a sound source as coming from the position from where the
sound source has its shortest distance, or “arrives first” ---
This is even true with later arrivals of the sounds being higher volume than the
originals.
Speaking in terms of a stereo image it is possible to give the imagination that a
sound comes from the right hand speaker even if the volume of the left hand speaker
is higher, provided that the left hand signal arrives a little later.
This effect can be heard in the TC 1210 “DELAY PANNING” effect, in which it is
possible to alternate the origination of the sound with the volume remaining
unchanged.
In some respects the delays needed to move our experience of the position of sound
sources are so short, that it is more correct to speak about phase shifts instead of
delays. This is the basics of most so called exiters, which are capable of producing
some static stereo images.
With the TC 1210 you play on the astonishing capabilities of our ears distinguishing
quite easily the origination of a sound.
TC 1210 combines delays and phase shifts with two powerful chorus/flangers
creating a variety of dynamically moving images.
