Abstract

Selon un certain mode de réalisation, un système numérique de relaxation par les sons possédant un port de réception d'une carte son et une carte d'enregistrement de sons qui coopèrent pour reproduire des sons préenregistrés naturels ou autres en appuyant sur un bouton d'une série de boutons sélecteurs de sons et un bouton sélecteur de carte son. Les nouveaux sons de chaque carte d'enregistrement de sons permettent de personnaliser la bibliothèque de sons disponibles selon le goût de chacun. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, un système numérique de relaxation par les sons possédant au moins deux (2) sons préenregistrés stockés dans une première et une deuxième zone de mémoire de dispositifs mémoire internes ou internes/externes peuvent être sélectionnés et combinés pour une reproduction individuelle ou combinée en appuyant sur un des boutons sélecteurs d'une série de boutons sélecteurs de son, sur un bouton sélecteur de carte son et sur un bouton de mixage. De cette manière, à partir de dix-huit (18) sons numériquement préenregistrés dudit mode de réalisation préféré, on peut obtenir quatre-vingt-dix (90) sons choisis individuellement et/ou en combinaison. Dans l'un ou l'autre mode de réalisation, on peut stocker des sons naturels ou autres dans un format en boucle ou en trame de son dans l'une ou l'autre des deux mémoires externes et internes.
