Fundamental, harmonics, and the anatomy of a periodic tone
A periodic tone is a sum of sine waves at integer multiples of a fundamental frequency. Adjust the fundamental and per-harmonic amplitudes to hear how the amplitude spectrum constructs timbre.
Audio plays when you press Play. Each harmonic is a pure sine at an integer multiple of the fundamental.
