Neil A. Miller has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 4509191
    Abstract: A stereo or two channel electronic reverberation device is disclosed comprising an analog delay device which receives audio signals and provides delayed output signals at a plurality of outputs, with the time delay period of each output being different from the delay period of other outputs. Two summing devices each receive inputs from different combinations of the analog delay device outputs to provide two different signals having different reverb components. An additional output delay device is also provided which receives the last output from the analog delay device, delays this signal a time period substantially greater than the time period between any two adjacent analog delay device outputs, and provides this substantially greater delayed signal to only one of said summing devices.
    Type: Grant

Two summing devices each receive inputs from different combinations of the analog delay device outputs to provide two different signals having different reverb components.

The circuit includes a synthetic doubler which provides an output cyclicly varying in pitch from its input. Two output mixers provide reverb alone, doubler signal alone or both reverb and doubling.
