Can’t wait to try some of these things out.

I have most of iZotope software and love using Iris for making cool effects and it’s streamline use. Lot of freedom, though easy to get lost in it.

You’re absolutely correct about them being inharmonic. That was a misstatement on my part, and I’ll correct it in the article sometime today. Thanks!

It sounds like that is the case with the found sound you use as a starting point too. I don’t think you’re dealing with harmonics in that sound but inharmonic partials. It’s hard to tell from the plots as the frequency axis isn’t clear enough. Do you know the exact frequencies of the partials?
