Not necessarily. First off the computer does not make a tone. The computer creates an electronic pulse. A speaker or transducer oscillates with this pulse and vibrates the air. It is the oscillating speaker or transducer that "creates" the tone. The pitch of the sound thus produced depends on the number of pulses generated and sent to the speaker. The quality of the pitch depends on speaker shape and a whole slew of factors. The digital signal (pulses per second) is what I would call "linearly" created tone. This series of electrical pulses cannot create harmonics of and by itself. The speaker however, depending on its materials, construction, etc., is analog. It 'could' create a harmonic series conforming to its structure, etc. This naturally arising series of harmonics accounts for why one speaker sounds different than another speaker as well accounting for different musical instruments sounding differently from each other when playing the same pitch or music note. So while the computer generated electrical pulses (linear) may not be dynamic other than length, amplitude, etc., they may be used to drive analog devices (nonlinear) - as I said in my original comments on this topic. For instance at the House on the Rock in Wisconsin (if you haven't seen this place - GO!) used to actuate musical instruments mechanically. in general, the string instruments were moved by solenoids and the air instruments were actuated by air pressure. Each musical instrument may be considered as a specialized speaker capable of generating a specific series of harmonics. (Go back and reread the previous sentence.) Each of these instruments may be accurately actuated by digital signals - given appropriate interfaces. And this idea may be a way to accurately marry digital control to analog nonlinear speakers, vibrators, oscillators, etc. wherein and wherewith specific signatures (chords) may be easily and accurately developed and would be very sufficient and adaptable to SVP work. An interetheric vibration is a frequency much higher than computers are currently capable of producing and speakers/transducers capable of responding to. For more detail on relative frequency ranges see Figures A & B: http://www.svpvril.com/Cosmology/cosunity1.html > > Not really because it is isolated to specific octives of the whole spectrum? > Sound itself is a small part of the spectrum of vibrations that are contained within the aether? Sound is defined as alternating compression and rarefaction waves, sometimes as transverse and/or longitudinal. "Audible" sound is limited to the range of human hearing usually considered between 16 and 32,000 vibrations per second. However sound as defined as alternating compression and rarefaction waves may exist on any frequency range. Sound waves have different characterisitcs and modes. The important thing to remember is there are "audible" sounds and inaudible sounds or we would better call these "inaudible vibrations". Ultrasonic vibrations are vibrations of a rate higher than audible vibrations.
