[edit] Lyric

Excuse me if I wax abit lyrical after finding this topic but it shows a potential to develope ( I hope I get the time to gather the tools... ) a deeper sense of what is involved in the perceptual,... what actually happens in our reality. From Helmholtz I remember ( perhaps imperfectly ) that the least number of combination tone created by the most consonant of notes yeilds At Least 4 actual tones. At a lower loudness level some of the tones might be inaudible, and as the volume increases different tonal experiences happen. The above applies to sine tones, when the tones have overtones alot more happens, with similar consequences re notes rising to audibility. I imagine sampling some of the different types of spectrum analyser displays and perhaps go a bit mad and imagine different instruments and other games with these toys. And Here there is this little article in this mother of all encyclopedias, would it be possible to disply so much graphic content here? If so each of these articles on tonal intervals could teach away many meta doubts of understanding. If not perhaps there might be a way to do it offsite, might possibly that is... but I wonder how many other subjects could be similarly enlarged to enormous advantage by thinking of the encylcopedia format as a gateway to developed treatments of chapter or book or flash animation or powerpoint.

Seashore ( the music theorist ) Had the idea that simple tones lose our interest and need to be enlived by "noise", such as attack, complex overtones through time, dissonances etc,&etc . "Klangfarb" is a great word for the musician or theorist.

Cubase has a rather nice spectrum analyser, but would it be legal to post their output? I might be mad enough to elaborate for this one interval to show what I mean. Sometimes I like to let the world turn on an idea for awhile, perhaps some wikipedians know what I mean. Wblakesx 07:00, 30 September 2006 (UTC)wblakesx

I've taken the liberty of formatting your message so I can read it (lines shouldn't start with spaces). Understanding it is a different matter. Does this have anything to do with the minor sixth specifically? This all sounds like original research to me. Why don't you put it on your own website? —Keenan Pepper 18:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks KP,

They are comments about intermodulation and apply to all intervals incluing sixths.

Perhaps a link to a blog would be the best way of handling the info, legality permitting.

I recently have had a rather odd and disturbing realization that minor sixth chords use the major sixth interval. Any comments appreciated- wb
