Not to belittle your work, but getting accurate cent values away from perfect pitch is more useful than the subjective slightly, very, and close adjectives. However, you did establish octave numbers for the notes, which is very useful. > Hope this is helpful. The higher you want to have the pitch, the fewer notes > You get to choose from.

One use is when you get close to the end of the scale, notes get very close together (less than 1/2 a tone), which could be used to simulate vibrato more effectively than with a sound generator that was evenly chromatic. -- To unsubscribe, send the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of a message to stella-request@xxxxxxxxxxx
