Hi all

I'm looking for some software that will display up to four sine waves added
together.  My trouble is I don't really know what search terms to use!

What I am trying to demonstrate is the difference between
equal temperament and just intonation - two ways of tuning in music.  For
example, the note A is generally 440Hz, 880Hz, ...  A just tuned 3rd (Db)
is 550Hz whereas the equal tempered 3rd is 554.37Hz (440 * 2^(4/12)).

So adding the just intonation sinewaves should give a regular looking
pattern whereas the equal tempered will be a bit "messy".

If anyone knows of anything like this, I'd be keen to hear.

Thanks
Kerry
