Harmonics are integer multiple of the base frequency, or integer 
quotients of the base wave length having integer quotient of the power.

Armonic 1 is the base signal.
Armonic 2 have twice the frequency, or half the wave length, and half 
the amplitude. For 64, it gives 32.

Nothing random here, not even a bad pseudo-random. It's totaly 
deterministic.
