Juergen , I'm referring to just the low pitched notes (below100Hz)

Hi Laurie and all, let's see if I got it ;-)

What I told about high frequencies was a try to understand better what Juergen said about his view of kind of a "bug" inside the cs80, that is some of the processed signal from EXP circuitry went into the bypassed signal ; we know that EXP adds loudness to the signal but I speculate this is not the case because ( I come back to the beginning ) because the signal should have been enhanced all over the place and there from the fft only the harmonic loss is evident.
You say also

>as you bend the fundemental down,
so do you bent the harmonic content

You mean that a low pitch fundamental determines low pitch harmonics? Of course ,Laurie, the fact is that the waveform changes itself :in the case of squares if you put one shot next to the other of 16' to 2' pitched notes you will see that the lower pitched wave has a peak only and a smoothed body resembling more to a blend of a sawtooth and a sine; this means that a narrow numbers of harmonics remained and the fundamental component is stronger, at 8' for example, the wave looks similar to a triangle with peaks at its vertices and so on to resemble a pretty regular square. Why is that I wonder....I ask Juergen to be larger in his explaination.
All the best
Max

You do realise that harmonic content is pitched down with the
fundemental.....such as the odd harmonics of a square wave ... they
remain true to the fundemental... so as you bend the fundemental down,
so do you bent the harmonic content..... on analog....harmonics aren't
infinite.... 3-4k is .5 foot compared to a 16 foot 100hz fundemental
and usually as you get further away from the Fundemental the harmonic
overtones fade regardless of filters.....3200hz is 5 octaves above 100hz
......2560hz is 5 octaves above 80hz ....1920hz is 5 octaves above 60
hz...... I think this should explain some of the loss above 3k you are
experiencing......
