You can find the lecture in "Stockhausen on Music" by Robin Maconie.  It =
was
given in London in 1971, in english, so I guess there is no question =
about
translation.  They are titled

1. The unified time structuring
2. The splitting of the sound
3. The multi-layered spatial composition
4. The equality of tone and noise

Indeed, nearly all of the sounds were produced with an impulse generator
able to vary speeds continuously from 1/16 to 16 Hz, with durations from
1/10000 to 9/10 of a second, passing through a band filter and an amp
envelope stage that could also be used as a narrow filter.  These were
recorded on tape, spliced and edited, and sped up or slowed down.  Some
isolated events use sine wave and square wave generators.  He also used =
an
echo-plate with continuously adjustable echo-lengths.

Cheers,
Paulo.
