The first, lowest note of a harmonic series. The Fundamental frequency determines a sound's overall pitch.
The basic pitch of a tone.
The standing wave with the lowest frequency that is supported by a string with both ends tied down is called the fundamental, or resonance, of the string. The wavelength of the fundamental is twice the length of the string, .
the lowest frequency or pitch that will produce a standing wave in one segment.
The lowest frequency at which a resonator plate will oscillate. This frequency is determined by the physical dimensions of the plate.
The lowest frequency, of which others are a multiple. When a time series is analysed by FFT, the length of time of the available data will be a fundamental for all the periods found.
the lowest tone of a harmonic series
In bell tuning, an alternative name for the prime partial. This name is not used by some on the grounds that, unlike in other instruments, the fundamental is not the lowest frequency partial of a bell.
The lowest in a series of harmonically related sounds. In musical sounds, it is the basis for all higher harmonics. In acoustically or mechanically resonant systems, it is the lowest of all resonant modes. See: Missing Fundamental.
Basic initial frequency from which harmonics stem.
The lowest frequency of a note in a complex wave form or chord. G-H-I Gain: To increase in level. The function of a volume control.
The lowest frequency component of a complex waveform such as musical note. It establishes the basic pitch of the note.
the note (real or virtual) on which a convergent chord converges. Most of the chords used in music –included pantonal music– can be separated as the addition of one or two convergent chords. So most chords can have one or two fundamentals. The term root is applied only in its tradicional meaning as the bass of a triadic structure or as the main fundamental.
The primary frequency generated, not the harmonics associated with it.
Lowest frequency a resonator plate will oscillate. Usually set by the physical dimensions of the plate.
In waveshaping, the root harmonic on which other harmonics are built.
The frequency being played in a musical note.
Fundamental is the sixteenth album, the ninth of entirely new music, by the British band Pet Shop Boys. It was released in May 2006 in the United Kingdom, Europe, Japan, and Canada, and was released in late June 2006 in the United States. The album entered the UK Albums Chart at number five on 28 May 2006 (see 2006 in British music).
