dazu geeignet ist, digital gespeicherte Daten in verständliche
Wörter, Sätze oder Geräusche zu verwandeln. Die im Speicher
5 gespeicherten Daten sind mit Hilfe der Steuervorrichtung
4 gezielt und einzeln abrufbar. Auf diese Weise wird
jeweils ein für das zu simulierende Ereignis typisches Geräusch
aus dem Speicher 5 abgerufen und dem Klangerzeuger 8
zur Wiedergabe zugeführt. Auch können Anweisungen und Befehle
als Wörter oder Sätze gespeichert sein, welche jedem
Teilnehmer nach Bedarf individuell mitgeteilt werden können.The sound generator 8 comprises two loudspeakers, which at
