Fourier series (music)
(PD) Image: John R. Brews
The amplitude of a musical note varies in time according to its sound envelope.[1]
The amplitude of a musical note varies in time according to its sound envelope.[1]
The ideas of Fourier series have interesting application in music, for example, in illuminating the differences in pitch between musical instruments and in the construction of music synthesizers.[2] The frequency spectrum of a musical instrument playing a particular note varies with the instrument and with the way that it is played. The manner of playing determines the sound envelope of a note, and therefore the amplitude of its harmonics.[1]
Some instruments (like the flute or the violin) exhibit a fundamental frequency and its harmonics in varying amplitudes and phase, and others (like the cymbal or the drum) do not.[2][3]
