Additive Synthesis

Additive (Fourier) Synthesis

Fourier Analysis: Represent Time Waveforms
as Linear Combination of Sine Waves

Example:
Construct a square wave
by adding sine waves
of odd integer frequency
relationships and amplitude
of 1/frequency.

sin(Ct) + sin(3Ct)/3 +
sin(5Ct)/5 + sin(7Ct)/7
