By varying the undertone series step size to some | By varying the undertone series step size to some number other than 1, if that number is irrational you can produce an ALS, and if rational you can produce a US (which you could also call an ALS if you really wanted to). In other words, by shifting the undertone series by a constant amount of string length, the step sizes remain equal in terms of length, but their relationship in pitch changes. | ||
