So essentially, the color and overtones are dirt and interference (imperfections) from the original signal?MadAudio said:No, it has more to do with overtones in relation to the fundamental. Only an electronically generated sine wave has a pure tone; an acoustic instrument does not but that's what gives each its own characteristic. The overtones generated will vary depending on where the string is struck/plucked/picked.
