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

[harrybissell]

OTOH synth-geeks...

your brains are rotted from too many years of listening to resonant filter
sweeps over every imaginable waveform. You can NO LONGER
judge dissonance for yourselves.

sh!t you probably think of Morton Subotnick as a favorite composer
of lullabyes  ;^)

H^)  harry    (who thinks the harmonic series starts to get a little
non-harmonic
at the seventh harmonic... lucky the amplitude is way down by then, huh ???  ;^)
