Exactly, and that is why I mentioned it as a method of representation.

I once took a course in electronic music, and learned alot (but not near enough by musician standards) about waveforms, harmonics, envelopes, and other things, and it did help me gain some insights into other "wavelike" applications. So, I do agree with that.

Exactly... Maybe the fuzzy, wuzzy was a bit over the top, but I was trying to get my thought processes across.
