Pitch perception
Fourier SynthesizerÖ.. produces frequencies
f1 , 2f1, 3f1, 4f1, 5f1 6f1, 7f1 etc
of adjustable amplitude and phase .
listen to the following combination of harmonics:
what pitch do you hear?
f (x 440 Hz)
880 Hz = A5
e.g. f1 = 440 Hz = A4 can synthesize any oscillation of period T=1/440 sec.
butÖ.
the fundamental is 880 Hz
since all freq multiples of 880
