An '''isoharmonic series''' is a variation on the [[harmonic series]], where every pitch has been shifted by a rational number.  
An '''isoharmonic series''' is a variation on the [[harmonic series]], where every pitch has been linearly shifted by a rational number:
 
<math>f(n) = c + n</math> where <math>c</math> is rational
 
So for a:b:c:d:... you have b-a = c-b = d-c = etc.
 
It is synonymous with the term [[OS]], otonal sequence, which is part of a system of [[arithmetic tuning|arithmetic]] and [[harmonotonic tuning|harmonotonic]] tunings. It is also essentially the series form of an [[isoharmonic chord]].
