Harmonic Generator

What does it do?
Lets you add harmonics and remove the fundamental from any audio signal.

Known bugs

There is no bandwith limiting filter on the output, so it is easy to create excessively high frequency harmonics that could cause aliasing problems. In practive this doesnt seem to be a serious problem however.

Examples

There are many interesting effects you can achieve with sinewaves, one example is producing bandlimited squarewaves from sinewaves. To do this set the parameters to 1, 0, -0.3333, 0, 0.2, 0, -0.14285, 0, 0.11111.To get a triangle like signal use 1, 0, -0.3333, 0, -0.2, 0, -0.14285, 0, -0.11111.

Fundamental magnitude

The amplitude of the fundamental of the signal, reduce it to 0 to remove the base signal altogether, or -1 to phase invert it.

2nd harmonic magnitude

The 2nd harmonic, its frequency is twice the frequency of the harmonic.Even harmonics add a distorted feel to the sound, valve (tube) amplifiers introduce distortions at all the harmonics.

3rd harmonic magnitude

The 3rd harmonic, its frequency is three times the frequency of the fundamental.Transistor amplifiers only introduce distortion into the odd harmonics.System requirementsAudacity
