Yeah. Sure have tried it, Geoff. Robert Orban, a friend and colleague
whose signal-processing product we used to represent world-wide,
developed a stereo synth that was the best I've heard, so far. It
divided the spectrum into five bands splitting out the "evens" to one
side (channel) and the "odds" to the other. At each crossover point,
he introduced a 90 degree phase shift. The spread was continuously
variable and the effect is certainly credible. In addition, one could
sum the right and left channels back into a mono output without the
phase problems inherent in other comb filter systems. I still have
one of the prototypes he developed and occasionally use it. However,
for this material, I would need something way more robust and
convincing.
