I hear you talking about overtones alot, griphon. I've never really understood the whole idea, especially when it comes to traditional and classical views. To me, and I think I am misunderstanding it, but overtones are a part of the notes. The overtones or should I say group of overtones is what gives a certain note a particular sound. Overtones are actually only sychronized vibrations that occur in the waveform. Just like when you play a C, you can hear alittle bit of the G sound too. Then it goes up, and goes through almost every note in the chromatic scale. So where would be the basis for a theory based on this science? I don't doubt it, I just don't understand it but I'd like to. Could you explain it better. Thanx
