Module:Powharmonic series

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module should not be invoked directly; use its corresponding template instead: Template:Powharmonic series.

This module generates a table showing the intervals of a powharmonic series for a given exponent, which is used to model timbres involving stretched or compressed harmonics.
