I am working with extremely simple frequencies, just an [osc~] and a number after it. I would like to find a simple way with Pure Data to create harmonics/overtones of this frequency. How would I go about doing it?

You will need one oscillator per overtone, and you can use simple multipliers (* 2, * 3, * 4, ...) to get the correct overtone frequencies. Something like this:

enter image description here

You can then add a *~ after each oscillator and connect a slider to it in order to control the strength of each overtone (the slider must be set to go from 0.0 to 1.0)

    Much appreciated! Good point suggesting that the higher overtones could also be of slightly lower volume. I will accept this as an answer, and thanks for the screenshot that fully illustrated what's going on, too :) – esaruoho Mar 10 '19 at 18:03
