CORRECTION: Was: tuning forks and beat rates

[Richard Brekne]

Richard... if you want a "beat generator" to listen to speeds of
computer generated
intervals, just download a little wave generator. I have one referenced
at my home page.
Takes about 2 minutes to download, and its real easy to use. You can
construct and
combine any amount of frequencies you want to listen to how they
intereact.. er..
beatwise..
