Additional notes about the perfect unison's relationship to the subharmonic series and about its status as the fundamental from which both the harmonic and subharmonic series spring.

The '''unison''' (interval ratio '''1/1''') is the [[interval]] between two tones that are identical in pitch. In the [[harmonic series]], 1/1 is the 1st [[harmonic]].
The '''unison''' (interval ratio '''1/1''') is the [[interval]] between two tones that are identical in pitch. In the [[harmonic series]], 1/1 is the 1st [[harmonic]], and likewise in the [[subharmonic series]] 1/1 is the first [[subharmonic]]- this is because it acts as the fundamental to both series.


Measured in [[cent]]s (or any other logarithmic measure such as [[millioctave]]s, [[EDO]] steps, etc.), the unison's size is exactly 0. This is because the distance between two identical pitches is zero. As such, the unison can be considered as a degenerate interval.
