Why is it a sensitive subject?
- pyinstallwoes 2y agoWait until you hear about A=432Hz
- the_other 2y agoI've heard a little about this one. It's not that interesting, IMO. Some people think tuning even temperament down such that middle A becomes 432Hz (rather than 440Hz) is better for your health as well as the tone. I can get a little "woo" from time to time, but this one left me cold.
- jameshart 2y agoObviously C4 should be 256Hz. This has the important property that it makes C-3 2Hz, which is another name for 120bpm. In equal temperament, this makes A4 430.5Hz.
- thomasahle 2y agoI think some people start from equal temperament. Then define a scale as the subset of those 12 nodes. Any other subset of frequencies is just considered a "weird tuning" rather than a scale in its own right. That's my best steel man. As you can see they deleted the question after a lot of discussion.
