More on the importance of sound

Q: How important is sound to the overall experience?

A: Sound and music have been used for centuries in many cultures to alter consciousness. Drums, chants, and environmental sounds like wind and rain all provide strong mental pictures and associations. Pleasant sounds are much more enjoyable and relaxing than one-note beeps or tones, such as those used by other machines.

Synetic Systems incorporates the most sophisticated sound generation circuitry of any light/sound device, employing digital wavetable synthesis to generate complex wave forms, rich two- and three-note harmonies, and moving audio sculptures.

Use of special AudioStrobe® CD's can fully synchronize the lights with the audio program. However, because a much larger portion of the brain is involved in vision as compared to audio processing, we can state that sound is less important than the lights as a means for achieving the desired states.
