    Compute harmonic relationships between musical tones

    Note Selection
    Note Selection

    Our harmonic series calculator allows you to select the fundamental musical note to analyze and calculate the harmonic relationships between musical tones. The tool includes all 12 notes: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A#/Bb, C#/Db, D#/Eb, F#/Gb, and G#/Ab.

    Octave Adjustment
    Octave Adjustment

    Our harmonic series calculator offers a unique feature that allows you to adjust the octave of a selected note to explore its harmonics across different registers. This is done by selecting from a range of options, including 0 (sub-contra), 1 (contra), 2 (great), 3 (small), 4 (1-line), 5 (2-line), 6 (3-line), 7 (4-line), and 8 (5-line). This feature provides a deeper understanding of the harmonics of a selected note.

    With our harmonic series calculator, you can choose how many parts of a sound you want to look at. There are no limitations. Each part, or partial, is a simple wave that makes up the sound. By looking at these parts, you can understand what the sound is made of and how it sounds.

    Frequency Display
    Frequency Display

    Our harmonic calculator shows you the fundamental frequency of the note you choose, measured in Hertz (Hz), which represents how many times the wave vibrates per second. It also displays the note's pitch variation in cents, allowing for precise measurement and analysis.
