Hello,
Is there an object for computing twelfth root, or anything root of two? For determining frequency difference between each interval in any tempered scale, I guess it could be useful.
[pow 0.0833333] for 12th root.
[sqrt]
Maybe [expr]?
Yes, expr works, too: expr pow($f1, 0.0833)
All right thanks, but this only work for twelfth notes tempered
scales. I might not have asked the question correctly (sorry for my weak
english).
Damn, you must have extremely high standards, most Americans don't
write this well... ;)
I wanted to know in fact if there is a more general way to get
intervals from ANY tempered scale with a simple object, maybe with [expr]
indeed. The only operator needed would be something that does N root of 2, I believe, as our usual chromatic scale as is tempered by twelfth
root of 2, the purpose of this would be about making instruments with
microtonic intervals with quarter, eighth, sixteenth tones, or with dividing the octave
with other numbers than twelve. Anyway thanks for the answer. Patco.
This might be of interest to you, its a quick patch to make equal- tempered scales of any number of intervals:
