inharmonic

The sound may be inharmonic, a mixture of sounds including some with conflicting fundamental frequencies.

The inharmonic overtones are strongest in the attack and die out rather quickly, leaving an almost pure tone.

But if there are inharmonic partials, the numbering no longer coincides.

These chaotic models create compositions from the harmonic and inharmonic phenomena of nature.

It can also be used for other instruments with inharmonic partials, such as membranes or plates.

FM synthesis can create both harmonic and inharmonic sounds.

An inharmonic frequency is a non-integer multiple of a fundamental frequency.

For example, a harmonic sound could be restructured to sound inharmonic, and vice versa.

To compensate for this, octaves are tuned slightly wide, stretched according to the inharmonic characteristics of each instrument.

"as a 'prolongation' of the initial inharmonic series" "

The drum heads produce inharmonic sounds.

Instruments such as cymbals, pianos, and strings plucked pizzicato create inharmonic sounds.

The inharmonic ringing of the instrument's metal resonator is even more prominent in the sounds of brass instruments.

The original sound wave is suppressed and replaced by a "ring" of inharmonic higher and lower pitches or "sidebands".

Bells often contain secondary strike tones which are inharmonic, or unrelated to the harmonic series of the original strike note.

Many percussion instruments, such as cymbals, tam-tams, and chimes, create complex and inharmonic sounds.

Again, on harmonic positions the result is much louder and clearer than on the inharmonic fret positions.

"Worn or dirty strings are also inharmonic and harder to tune", a problem that can be partially resolved by cleaning strings.

Helmholtz agreed with the finding of Ernst Chladni from 1787 that certain sound sources have inharmonic vibration modes.

Never mind that the gander's voice is higher than hers or that both make sounds by inhalation and exhalation that are inharmonic.

Jackson's close association with Fairlight made him intimately aware of the limitations of early digital audio, "weaknesses" such as noise and inharmonic distortion.

This is the case whether the partial is harmonic or inharmonic and whether its frequency is constant or time-varying.

Sometimes overtones are created that are not anywhere near a harmonic, and are just called partials or inharmonic overtones.

There was still a touch of unripe, inharmonic youth, a stroke of skepticism groping for something to disbelieve- Or was it the shadows in here?
