Hello,

Well I think adding what Nolan is suggesting is clear and understandabledesign principle. We do have clearly defined frequency and a ratio used toderive other frequency steps.Plus that slight improvement for musicians and people with absolute hearingability does also count for me.

It's very simple thing to change and if you can't accept it because of theaudible difference then please do consider it because of code readabilityand clear implementation stand point.


Greetings

Peter

I think belling two beeps is too much beeping around XD.

The octave ting is not interesring to non musicals. I tested it months agowith my girl. She didnt recogniced big differences.

I think more helpful is panning or an other idea is to bell alwas the sameFrequenzy that just get more quite. So you know how far the beep is awayfrom muting.

At the risk of suddently sending far too many emails on this topic, let
me try my own answer out on you ...

I think he's saying, I know I'm saying ...

Speaking is a second class choice. There's a richer, less invasive
choice that will communicate intuitively even to people who can't
explain why it communicates intuitively.

It means mapping a seris of musical intervals to a set of defined
percentage complete settings, e.g.

An arbitrary set for purposes of elucidation ...

20% e-c
40% f-c
60% g-c
80% a-c
90% b-c
100% c-c

The letter pitches are not important. The relationship from the first to
second would clearly need to be provided as specific Hz values.

I feel I should attach an mp3 or something. Trust me, it works!
