  2. Harmonic series (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)

    The fourth harmonic vibrates at four times the frequency of the fundamental and sounds a perfect fourth above the third harmonic (two octaves above the fundamental). Double the harmonic number means double the frequency (which sounds an octave higher). An illustration in musical notation of the harmonic series (on C) up to the 20th harmonic.

  3. Harmonic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic

    Two different notations of natural harmonics on the cello. First as sounded (more common), then as fingered (easier to sightread). In physics, acoustics, and telecommunications, a harmonic is a sinusoidal wave with a frequency that is a positive integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of a periodic signal.

  4. String harmonic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_harmonic

    Playing a harmonic on a string. Here, "+7" indicates that the string is held down at the position for raising the pitch by 7 semitones. Playing a string harmonic (a flageolet) is a string instrument technique that uses the nodes of natural harmonics of a musical string to isolate overtones.

  5. Cello technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cello_technique

    Natural harmonics are produced by lightly touching (but not depressing) the string with the finger at certain places, and then bowing (or, rarely, plucking) the string. For example, the halfway point of the string will produce a harmonic that is one octave above the unfingered (open) string.

  6. Harmonic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_scale

    The harmonic scale is a "super-just" musical scale allowing extended just intonation, beyond 5-limit to the 19th harmonic (Play ⓘ), and free modulation through the use of synthesizers. Transpositions and tuning tables are controlled by the left hand on the appropriate note on a one-octave keyboard.

  7. Just intonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_intonation

    Some natural horns also may adjust the tuning with the hand in the bell, and valved cornets, trumpets, Flugelhorns, Saxhorns, Wagner tubas, and tubas have overall and valve-by-valve tuning slides, like valved horns. Wind instruments with valves are biased towards natural tuning and must be micro-tuned if equal temperament is required.

  8. Scale of harmonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_harmonics

    The Guqin Scale of harmonics on the Moodswinger Scale of harmonics on C. Play ⓘ The scale of harmonics is a musical scale based on the noded positions of the natural harmonics existing on a string. [citation needed] This musical scale is present on the guqin, regarded as one of the first string instruments with a musical scale. [1]

  9. Frequency modulation synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_modulation_synthesis

    These two types of wave forms can be used to model the basic harmonic peaks in the bottom of the harmonic spectrum of most instruments. The Res1 and Res2 wave forms move the spectral peak to a specific harmonic and can be used to model either triangular or rounded groups of harmonics further up in the spectrum of an instrument.
