Is there anybody out there who has tried to immitate natural instruments by
using Fourier-analysis??? I mean: Use a lot of sine-waves for one single
sound????

For instance
/\
| amplitude

|
|   |
|   |
|   |   |   |
|   |   |   |         |
|   |   |   |         |
|   |   |   |         |

    f0                                   freq->
So to imitate this sound you should have four VCOs voiced to each other in
such a way that these upper-harmonics are reached!!!! The amplitude of each
sine should be the same as the amplitude in the (sort of) graphic!!!

PS: This message doesn't make sense if you think about it.........
    ....... so: DON'T!!!!
    I'm just interested in some frequency/amplitude diagrams of natural
    sounds & instruments!!!
