Hey guys thanks for the explanation!. goin further in the study of fft and applications, iam designing an oscilator that is capable to go from pure sine tone (fundamental harmonic) to a saw (all harmonics)...
1.I have had trouble finding the amplitudes of the harmonics and relating them to a specific function.
2.Theoretically for it to work propperly i should include infinite harmonics, i am using
[; table sinesum $f1 $f2 $f3 $f4... $f12] to generate the 12 harmonics with different amplitudes in an array
and then read it with tabosc4~ but i still don get enough saw sound.
Is it a game of try/error or have any of you guys done it with a larger amount of harmonics.???
3. What i wanted in the beginning was to use the object FFT~ but didnīt get along quite well... can anyine pinpoint how to create a list that IFFT~ could interpret as a couple of sinewaves?
thankz a lot!!!!

This is a good explanation.
