Is timbre the same as waveform?

Timbre is a quality of musical tone to distinguish between two sounds when they are of the same frequency. Every sound we hear depends on its source. Sound timbre is known as the characteristic waveform of sound that depends on the material from which it produces.

How can you measure timbre?

Timbre is determined by an instrument's shape (e.g., the conical or cylindrical pipe of a wind instrument), by the frequency range within which the instrument can produce overtones, and by the envelope of the instrument's sound.

Does an oscilloscope transmit sound?

An oscilloscope allows you to see how the microphone is moving. The movement of the microphone reflects the shape of the sound wave (also called waveform). This oscilloscope also allows you to record and amplify sounds, and make them repeat in loops, generating rhythms and fascinating musical effects.

Is timbre a quality of sound?

Timbre is a quality of a musical sound which is used for differentiating two sounds when they are in the same frequency. Every sound that we hear is dependent on its source. Sound timbre is defined by the characteristic sound waveform which is dependent on the material through which it is produced.
