200e

It's not a superfluous question.  It's completely valid.27.5 Hz to 7040 Hz
is roughly a third of what the human ear can detect.
It just makes no sense to me why roughly 2/3s, the majority of possible
pitches, are inaccessible
to the composer.  I'm not trying to judge whether or not the 200e is for me,
I determined that
a month or so ago and sent a check in for one. I'm trying to determine why
the boundary of 7040 Hz
is set on my oscillators.
