> Divide that back down below 800 to 600
Do you mean "keep dividing 1200 by 2 until it is less than 400 times 2"? So, if I have a starting frequency N and some multiple frequency KN then the process is "find i such that (KN >> i) < 2N"?
- rthomas6 4y agoYes, because remember, humans hear frequency doubling as an octave pitch change. So 1200 divided or multiplied by any multiple of 2 sounds like the same note. You are finding the note in between N and 2N, to find the version of the note in the same octave, to approximate your scale note to.
