What is a harmonic? An interactive comic about additive synthesis

An interactive comic explains the concept of harmonics and additive synthesis through visual and interactive elements. Created by Sudara and Alec Longstreth, it demonstrates how different frequencies combine to create complex sounds, making music theory more accessible to learners.

Background

Additive synthesis is a sound synthesis technique that creates timbre by adding sine waves together at different frequencies, amplitudes, and phases. Understanding harmonics is fundamental to sound design and music production.
