Clear Supertone

In electronic music, a “clear supertone” can be synthesized by generating a pure, flat-amplitude sine wave at a frequency that falls into a spectral gap of a pad or drone. Adding very slow (0.5 Hz) amplitude modulation reduces ( \sigma_t ) when synchronized, paradoxically enhancing CST perception.

Targets only the reverb of the voice . This is a critical distinction; it removes the room reflections without affecting the natural tone of the speaker. clear supertone

Engineers often aim to create CSTs for lead instruments. Using dynamic EQ to lower the mask around 2.5 kHz for a vocal, rather than boosting the vocal, increases ( \Gamma ) more efficiently. The CST model predicts that a -3 dB cut in competing guitars at 2.5 kHz is more effective than a +3 dB boost to the vocal. In electronic music, a “clear supertone” can be
