This is offtopic. You can always ask off-list.

This is offtopic. You can ask off-list.

No. In anharmonic sounds the partials are not even phase-locked
between eachother. You could take two sounds of the same harmonic
structure and then the partials could be phase-locked in pairs between
the sounds, but that's beyond the scope of this thread.

This question made no sense.
