Older sketch of the sort of timbre that you can create from different holes in a disk. What looked like it would be amplitude modulation (and probably is, to an extent) is actually a rich harmonic series, according to Bart Hopkin. | Older sketch of the sort of timbre that you can create from different holes in a disk.
