> A harmonic is an integer multiple of a fundamental frequency. For example: | ||
> | ||
> Fundamental (𝑓) is 55 Hz; | ||
> Second harmonic (𝑓2) = 𝑓∗2= 110 Hz; | ||
> Third harmonic (𝑓3) = 𝑓∗3= 165 Hz and so on... | ||

## Instructions | ||
1. Set a fundamental frequency (default 55 Hz) on top-right. | ||
2. Use the 'Start/Stop' button to turn audio on/off. | ||
3. Adjust the gain of each partial to mix harmonics. | ||
4. The 'Randomise' button (or R key) will set a random gain for each partial, creating new timbres. | ||
5. The 'Wander' button will start the partials automatically moving. Control speed with 'Wander Speed' slider. | ||

7. 'Static' stops generative behaviour. | ||
8. 'Save CSV' (bottom-right) exports information about harmonic pitch and amplitude (0-1) or current spectra. | ||
