-% DOCUMENTATION:
-% harmonics should ideally be a 1D matrix of:
-    % overtones: positive integers
-    % undertones: 1/ positive integers
-    % example: [1/2, 1, 2, 3]
-    % NOTE: pitch of the fundamental frequency will still be perceived even
-        % when the fundamental itself is missing. ex. [4,5,6]
-    
-% NOTE: it seems like when MATLAB's built in sound() takes in values,
-    % magnitudes over 1 get distorted.
-

-    
-    % initialize local variables from input arguments
-    n = fs * duration; % number of samples (length of matrix)
-    
-    % initialize a one dimensional zero matrix to be populated
-    x = zeros(1, n);
-    
-    % populate matrix by adding sine waves
-    for harmonic = harmonics
-        x = x + generate_sine(1, fundamental * harmonic, 0, fs, duration);
-    end
-    
-    % scale to amplitude
-    scalar = max(abs(x));
-    x = x / scalar * amplitude;
