I want to create a sine wave but with harmonics (all - both odd and even) that roll off in amplitude (each harmonic is lower than the previous one starting with the fundamental and going up) but I want to do it linearly and not logarithmically... not sure if I said that right, but the way it would look in the spectrum filter... if you look at the tones (set the FFT size to 16) and you created a point on the top of each harmonic the line would be straight and not curving downward. Here's the expression I came up with so you can see what I mean, just paste this into the goldwave expression evaluator and enter like 110 into the "f" box (or whatever frequency you like):

So those good at math might already know exactly what I'm trying to achieve now by seeing the math I'm using...
Well of course if I wanted to do more than 32 harmonics it would take forever to type by hand! So I was wondering if anyone good with math knows an expression that would generate harmonics all the way up to the nyquist frequency automatically and in a shorter expression?
And then if possible to also have the expression set so that one of the x or y variables could control the factor at which the harmonics roll off.
If someone could come up with an expression for me that could achieve this, I'd be very grateful!
