The overtone series can be mathematically generated by [[Gallery of Just Intervals|frequency ratios]] 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 5/1, 6/1, 7/1... ad infinitum.
The undertone series is its inversion: 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7... ad infinitum.
The undertone series is its inversion: 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7... ad infinitum.
Steps between adjacent members of either series are called "[[superparticular]]," and they appear in the form (n+1)/n, eg. 4/3, 28/27, 33/32...


In just intonation theory, the overtone series is often treated as the foundation of consonance. The [[chord of nature]] is the name sometimes given to the overtone series, or the series up to a certain stopping point, regarded as a chord.

In just intonation theory, the overtone series is often treated as the foundation of consonance. The [[chord_of_nature|chord of nature]] is the name sometimes given to the overtone series, or the series up to a certain stopping point, regarded as a chord.


One might compose with the overtone series by, for instance:
One might compose with the overtone series by, for instance:
* Tuning to the first several overtones over one fundamental.
* Tuning to an octave-repeating slice of the overtone series for use as a scale (for instance overtones 8 though 16, [[otones12-24|12 through 24]], [[otones20-40|20 through 40]]... see [[Overtone Scales]]).
* Tuning to the overtones of the overtones.
* Tuning to the overtones of the overtones &amp; the undertones of the undertones. (This can produce complex scales such as [[Harry Partch]]'s 43-tone Monophonic; this kind of thing is more often called "[[JustIntonation|just intonation]]" than "overtone music".)
