Summary
The shape of the complex wave
is determined by:
(1) the number and relative
amplitudes of the component
harmonics.
(2) the phases of the higher
harmonics, relative to the
fundamental.
The tone quality or timbre is
affected by moderate changes in
the amplitude of the higher
harmonic but is hardly affected
at all by rather large changes in
the relative phases of the two
harmonics.

4.2 Fourier Analysis and Fourier Spectra
Since the tone quality of a complex wave is determined primarily by the
amplitudes of the harmonics, it is useful to display the harmonic content
graphically.
Fourier spectrum displays the harmonic content of complex waves.
