Both OS and AFS are equivalent to taking an overtone series and adding (or subtracting) a constant amount of frequency (for OS it is rational, for AFS it is irrational). By doing this, the step sizes remain equal in frequency, but their relationship in pitch changes. For a detailed explanation of this, see the later section on the [[OS#Derivation|derivation]]. | Both OS and AFS are equivalent to taking an overtone series and adding (or subtracting) a constant amount of frequency (for OS it is rational, for AFS it is probably irrational).
