hi, as in the description, padthv1 is a special variation of additive synthesis, ones implementation of the PADsynth algorithm.
that said, you won't ever have a pure tone if given only one single harmonic, but a cluster of harmonics centered at the former one, with a gaussian distribution in the original article but you may choose another profile among several ones (GEN Apodizer: Rect, Triang, etc.) and the relative spread across the spectrum (GEN Width, Scale);
