Can anyone suggest good books on psychoacoustics? It should be quite simple and possible contains or suggest some demonstration? (I mean demonstration that you can really hear)?

I have not read this, but I've read reviews of 'Spatial Hearing' available from the MIX bookstore. From what I've read, though, this isn't a simple text. -- Jim Hurley domain: jimh@ultra.com UltraNetwork Technologies Internet: ultra!jimh@ames.arc.nasa.gov 101 Daggett Dr. uucp: ...ames!ultra!jimh San Jose, CA 95134 (408) 922-0100

If you can find a DX7-II anywhere, there is a good little pamphlet published for it entitled "The Psychoacoustics of Microtuning" (pub. by Yamaha). The experiments are simple and are designed to be played on the DX7-II in stereo (only one DX needed). Difference tones, combination tones, and monaural and binaural beats are demonstrated. If you can't find anything better/more useful, I could send you a tape of the examples; the pamphlet is not copyrighted and could be copied.
