( /* Harmo module, licensed under GNU GPL v3 (<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>), Adapted by Simon Deplat (aka Dindoleon), but mostly written by Bruno Ruviaro in his 'Additive Synthesis GUI DEMO 2' patch (see http://sccode.org/1-4Uv ). This is a standalone module which allows you to shape a continuous tone by modifying the amplitude of its harmonic. The major change with Ruviaro's version is the plot display, rather than bar charts display (see lines 65 - 66), and the over simplification of the interface. This is a good visual tool to introduce the notions of harmonics and timbre, due to its simplicity. Replace the mulstiSlider's 'win' argument by a View to integrate it inside another GUI. */ var win, window_size, synth, spectrum, numharm, ampBus, sndBus, multiSlider, margin, frame_color, fill_color, line_color; window_size = [ 500, 300 ]; margin = 3; frame_color = Color.blue; line_color = Color.new( 0.2, 0.6, 1 ); fill_color = Color.white; numharm = 32; ampBus = Bus.control(s); ampBus.value = 0.1; sndBus = Bus. audio(s, 2); // Routine to add SynthDefs, wait for Server reply, then start Synths { // The SynthDef has been modified to store the harmonic number inside it, allowing to change the root frequency for every harmonic at once.

Nice!
