<EM>&gt; There was a game (Barbie ?) for the old Commodoore 64 in which Ken calls
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Barbie up for a date and she has to go shopping for a new outfit.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Anyway, Ken and Barbie both had nice digitised voices. Beachhead II
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; also had good voice digitization.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; But the only sound available for the C64 was a simple synthesizer which
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; produced square, triangle, sawtooth and noise. These were combined very
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; nicely (the audio equivilent of RGB) to reproduce recorded speach.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; That what you mean?

<P>Hello,
<BR>
<P>That was done using PWM, a time-domain technique.
<BR>
You can't do it in frequency domain, because the ear is a several 1000
<BR>
channel analyzer versus 3 channels of the eye. (Yes, it's 3 - the
<BR>
luminance sensors (the 'rods') have the same sensitivity as the 'green'
<BR>
channel 'cones')
<BR>
<P>Back to scanning - if you need to get all the info that is in a
<BR>
photograph ABOUT THE ORIGINAL SCENE, a three channel scanner is enough,
<BR>
because the original photo process has already reduced it to 3 chans.
<BR>
By using a multispectral scanner, you'll only get more info about the
<BR>
spectral shapes of the pigments (dyes) that make up the photo.
<BR>
<P>But I suspect that those 19th century photos are single-channel anyway?
