Dear Andreas,

I have a Mac application that do almost the same. It's call "Csound
Additive". So, if you like to see it I can give you the adress to download
(I'm not the author, I think that the author is John Burkhart).
Welcome to the list and Happy Holidays.

Cheers,

James

>OK - so here's my question.  The obvious way to do this is with a separate
