Fork Code: Harmo : Harmonic Series modulated by a MultiSlider interface.

(
/* 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.
