Your MIDI equipped computer played a tune upon opening this page. If it was just
one tune, this is the way the tune should sound. Some browsers and
media players concurrently play every tune on this page concurrently when
the page is entered.
You can hear this reference tune again by hitting Play (>) on the first player below. The other players simulate the sounds of distortion. Remember that audio distortion in real world audio components will have some of each type of distortion, not just one type by itself as in these simulated examples. For more realistic and varied demonstrations of the sounds of
various kinds of distortion |
||
|---|---|---|
| Pure Sound | This is how the tune should sound. | |
| Second Harmonic Distortion | Note how the addition of even order harmonic distortion sounds musical but not at all like the original. | |
| Third Harmonic Distortion | Odd order harmonics sound in conflict with the music. | |
| Modulation Distortion | The addition of notes 120 Hz. above and below the correct notes simulates Amplitude Modulation Distortion. | |
