Re: need help with microtone

Hi, thank you for that all!

I can generate sine waves of this kind myself. I've got GoldWave. The sound
is really odd, indeed. I don't like it, but it's nice for tuning my guitar.
Concerning those 415/440 tuning, I'm very sorry for confusion. I think I
read it in M$ Encarta. Or did I read the article there wrong? Maybe. I
wanted to make a well-tempered scale, yes, so thanks for that formula. We
haven't dealt enough with logarithms in school yet, just some first
principles. My last year's Maths teacher said we'll need it this year. c is
half the value of c' and a half the value of a' as I understood it (I looked
the frequences up myself before). Is that right? Should be, because
otherwise, it wouldn't be an octave, right? Is 440 Hz a must-have? Or might
I chose another frequence as value to start with, too?

Because I had a little too less time from wednesday to friday (today), I
couldn't write back yet or do those equations, sorry.

Thanks,
Carsten
