What the beat rate means
When two steady tones are close in frequency, their interference produces amplitude beating near the frequency difference in hertz. This tool shows that difference against the center voice as a useful motion reference.
What this does not predict
A real supersaw also depends on oscillator phase, waveform, random drift, stereo architecture, filters and modulation. The numbers describe frequency spacing and idealized beating, not the complete perceived width of a synth patch.
