The more general form of transferring the frequency domain to the time domain is termed the inverse Fourier transform. See: COMPLEX TONE, FOURIER THEOREM, HARMONIC SERIES, SINE WAVE. Compare: GRANULAR ...

The representation of a PERIODIC sound or WAVEFORM as a sum of Fourier components (i.e. pure SINUSOIDAL WAVEs). According to the FOURIER THEOREM, periodic sound may be shown to consist of SINE WAVEs ...
