With so many musicians on here, including the K1/K2 designer, maybe someone
would comment on why sidetones are the frequency they are. Actually, I have
been thinking more about how people choose the OFFSET they prefer more than
the sidetone, but it's the same idea.
It's interesting that you

was not a pure sine wave. It is my understanding (not being a musician
myself), that humans prefer tones with harmonic content. Pure sine waves
sound simple and harsh to the ear.
Not harsh, but boring.
Hi Eric,
Interesting thoughts. I am a professional musician
and owner of a K1. I could write pages (and have,
back in school) on how and why pianos are tuned the
way they are -- they are giant mess, pitch-wise, for
many many reasons, but through lots of compramises you
end up with something

desirable is that it makes matching pitch with a received signal easier.
Well, and bandwidth. A pure sine wave uses, errr, almost zero
bandwidth*, whereas one with harmonics needs somewhere to put those. A
