Subject: RE: Tune Req: calling all music theorists
These are interesting questions, Donuel.
I'm going to make a piece of music based on the Fibonacci sequence, in which we make a new number by adding up the previous two. And yes, I will use cycles per second, because that's all that a change in pitch is. A person could use cycles per minute or any other unit of time, but cps is handy.
Everybody knows the major scale (do re mi), but not everybody knows that the the steps of the scale are not all the same size. Some are bigger jumps than others, and the small ones are half the size of the others. I will look at my MIDI keyboard and record 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34 and send it to Joe for posting here.
I've sent it in for posting. It's short because the distance between numbers grows so fast. Soon the span outgrows my keyboard.
Donuel, I started with the lowest B-flat I have. The very high note at the start represents zero.
I am not going to deal with Avogadro's number because avogadros are so fattening. :)
