It just so happens that the frequency C in our scale becomes a "binary" number eg. 256Hz, 512Hz, 1024 Hz, 2048Hz, ..., when A is 432Hz instead of 440Hz. And that did not prevent making cheesy video game music. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
