I made an animation of the frequency spectrum evolving over time, but the sample size was only
large enough to make 4 time frames. Each frame pictured here is 0.37 seconds apart.
The waterfall plot is another way to visualize the frequencies evolving over time. The row axis is
time (slice 1, 2, 3, and 4); the column axis is frequency (Hz).
If the waterfall plot is turned on end, then the Looking at the other end, you can see how the
graph is almost the same as the original wav is getting quieter over time. (Increasing

Frequencies

Description
This function takes a sequence of notes and corresponding octaves and returns a frequency list to
be used by the functions in the SigGen Maple package. The 0th octave corresponds to the lowest
notes on a piano, and the 4th octave is middle C up to and including the B on the treble clef.
(This is the octave identification system recommended by the International Acoustical Society
and also used in Braille music notation.) For example, a command for generating the frequencies
for a C chord is chord(["C","E","G"],[4,4,4]); This will return the list [261.6255653,
329.6275568, 391.9954358] where each frequency is in Hertz.
This function can be improved by adding enharmonic notes that require double sharps or double
flats such as “FX” or “Ebb”. This would accommodate musically correct spellings of the chords
in unusual keys or chords such as Ab diminished which should be spelled as Ab Cb Ebb.
