The '''fundamental''' is the lowest pitch to which a series of [[overtone]]s belong. | |||
[[Category: | If a [[scale]] has an [[equave]] and is based to some degree on the [[harmonic series]], then the [[tonic]] of that scale is likely to be equave-[[equivalent]] to the fundamental of that harmonic series. | ||
Depending on the scale, tuning, or other structure being analysed, the fundamental may be interpreted as different things numerically. Most often, though, it is interpreted as [[1/1]], the perfect unison, or as a much lower equave-equivalent version of that, such as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc. for [[octave]] equivalence, or 1/3, 1/9, 1/27 etc. for [[tritave]]s, 1/5, 1/25, etc. for [[pentave]]s, so on. | |||
