Timbral differences between instruments can be plotted dynamically through critical bands

Evidence

This provides a method for visualizing timbral differences between instruments which is based on critical band analysis. It also provides a particular representation which gives an insight as to the nature of the patterns which could be used to represent timbral differences perceptually. — David Howard, Jamie Angus, coustics and Psychoacoustics, 1514
