[sdiy] Request brain dump on balanced lines -- harmonic numbering

[John L Marshall]

But, of course. Try 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 Hz sine waves
mixed together. Should sound like a major seventh chord ++ a bottom end.

Major triad = 4:5:6

Appreciation of more complex ratios, moving towards dissonance versus
Consonance (1:1) is at least in part learned.

Cowboys generally don't like Thelonious

Take care,
John
