Hello freakz,
i've another unsatisfied curiosity..
how can i found an instruments fundamentals? in an instrument are allways more then one fundamental ? all and just one fundamental ? or both cases can be verified depending on the instrument? is common (wise?) to talk about fundamental/s on synthesized sounds ? the 'theory' beyond synth sounds is the same as accoustic instruments ?
what really is, an instrument fundamental ?!
yes i know..too many questions..but i can't find the answers to them anywhere else..i'm faithfull that i'll get some light here..
thanks in advance geekz!

hello!
if you mean the fundamental frequency,
that means the main frequency (and the most
perceptive) wich will give the main pitch and the rest of the harmonics, will be genarated, accourding to wich fundamental
frequency has bein playd.
the fundamental will change, accourding to
wich note you played, after that comes the
way the harmonics are genarated from the fundamental frequency thats bein playd, and
the way the shape, structer and meterial the instrument is made out of wich is called timbre. |

Optikool,
The fundamental is the base frequency of a sound. Many instruments, such as a guitar, produce many overtones when a single note is played. If you pluck an A on a guitar, you will hear an A note. But you will also hear many overtones caused by resonating waves from within the guitar body as well as the other strings on the guitar. These other sounds will have pitches as well. But above all these other notes, you should still hear that A note of the original string you plucked. This A is the fundamental.
the theory behind synth sounds is the same as acoustic instruments - it's all noise. 
Hope that helps.

@billy, yea i was talking about fundamental in
therms of frequency.
@ orik & fuzzikitten, hey guys thanks alot. it was a great help..
just see se if i understoo it right, if i play in a keyboard a 'C2' note the fundamental frequency of that not is -> 65.41 hz.
@xrTC, no i was talking about the frequency fundamental, that i know now that it depends on the know playd...and i know now ou to find them 
thanks you guys...

sooo... if you play a 300hz tone the second frequency would be 600hz the third 900hz etc... |

almost... a note has a frequency, not a fundamental frequency. now, a musical sound has a fundamental frequency which corresponds to the percieved note of the sound. but generally, yeah, u got it!
