This is really interesting to me but there’s a few things here that are beyond my reach. Could anyone describe these in more detail or point to references?
* partials? Is that another word for harmonics?
* “Box tone”?
* Breakpoint synthesis? ChatGPT suggests this is a kind of interpolation but I don’t quite get it.
Any general references would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Still curious about the others.
In this case, web search with site:XX.name worked better than the LLM.

Box tone isn't a term I'm familiar with, but from context the author seems to be talking about the sound contributed by an instrument's soundboard or cabinet. EDIT: Another possibility, https://gearspace.com/board/mastering-forum/1401491-box-tone...
'Box Tone' refers to the special sonic signature imparted by a piece of gear, for instance a preamp or a compressor.
