This patch shows how you can create harmonic changes simply by multiplying two sine waves at a fixed interval. One sine wave is tuned down a fourth `x*.75` and the other is tuned up a third `x*1.25` and the resulting product of the signals will have the original pitch again as if by magic. So why bother? Because along the way you can modulate the signal and you get interesting changes in the overtones. Typically I would use a wave folder, but I didn't feel like reconstructing that patch just yet. But you can mess around with Distortion, amplitude modulation and detuning the individual sines with the patch above. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Interesting. It seems to work with other kinds of waveforms multiplied together as well :)
Yeah, this is definitely just a template. With all the different node combos you can push this technique in many different directions.
Here's my distorted edit, hehehe: https://z.musictools.live/#325
Wow, that sounds like some 1970's flanging or something!
