I'm going to be training sound people at [TIPA] the Tibetan Institute 

I was hoping to give a presentation on sound basics(sine waves, 

frequency, harmonics) I thought it would be really cool if I used 

additive synthesis to demonstrate harmonics, and then used that 

additive synthesizer to do a vowelizing. (Like buddhist monks do)

you would think that (all harmonics equal(pulsewave)) with (two 

harmonics boosted( formants ))would work.

my additive synthesizer consists on a bunch of partial~ objects 

Anyone have a method for getting a list of harmonic amplitudes to 

vowelize? usually you would just use a bandpass filter but I want 

to do it additively so they can see the individual harmonic volumes 

I cant upload the whole patch but what I'm using to generate the

Let me know if it works or not. I put this archive together quickly, and might have missed some of the necessary objects. It all must be in your serach path.
