Hi all, the URL of the calculation-tools: http://www.modular-planet.de/_aspekte/tools.html Various calculations are possible: - frequencies of half-tones (adjustable steps) - detune with cent-values - cent-values of different frequencies Unfortunately the descriptions are in German! Who can translate it into English descriptions? (My English is tooooo bad :-((((( Josef

Hi Josef > - frequencies of half-tones (adjustable steps) > - detune with cent-values > - cent-values of different frequencies These is a very interesting calculations. For the translations see below. Sorry for the slight offtopic: I had another wish, which is not really required for modular systems but would be very useful for older samplers: The relation of the transpose/pitchbend value against a certain detune or BPM with a given Pitchbend amount. I give an example: I have an Casio FZ-1 Sampler. I load a Sample with 108 bpm, but I need it at 132 bpm. The pitchbend amount is set to two half notes. To get the detination tempo I have to transpose the sample for let say 3 half notes and a certain MIDI-pitchbend value. I'd like to have something like: 1.) base tempo (Ausgangstempo) 2.) pitchbend range 3.) -> resulting transpose value 4.) -> resulting pitchbend MIDI value I tried this already back in atari times with GFA Basic, but I was not lucky. > Unfortunately the descriptions are in German! Who can translate it > into English descriptions? (My English is tooooobad :-((((( The first one is not that easy, because the terms are not really correct - also in german. But the approach is very interesting. Lets see: Frequenz-Berechnung von Teiltönen 1. Grundton -> base frequency 2. Stufe des Teiltons -> which step shall be calculated, if... 3. Anzahl der Stufen -> ...one octave is divided in n steps 4. Frequenz des Teiltons -> resulting frequency of the step given in #2 "Teiltoene" is the same as "Obertoene" which is translated with "partials", but this is not correct. You say: we have an octave. This octave is divided in n steps, where n is given in the field #3. Example with temperatured classic 12 note octave: 1. 440 Hz 2. 6th step 3. of 12 steps 4. -> 622.2539674441618 Hz The same can be reached with 1. 440 Hz 2. 3th step 3. of 6 steps 4. -> 622.2539674441618 Hz The other ones are easier: Verstimmung um Cent-Wert => get the frequency with a certain detune amount (in cent) 1. Ausgangs-Frequenz -> base frequency 2. Verstimmung (Cent-Wert) -> detune in cent 3. Frequenz des verstimmten Tons -> resulting frequency Cent-Wert-Ermittlung => get the detune amount (in cent) with a known detuned frequency 1. Frequenz des verstimmten Tones -> frequency of the detuned tone 2. Zugehöriger Halbton -> the base note 3. Cent-Wert (Grad der Verstimmung) -> required detune in cent -- Florian Anwander |ConSol* HP-Support Tel. +49.89.45841-133 |Consulting&Solutions Software GmbH Fax +49.89.45841-139 |Franziskanerstr. 38, D-81669 München email: florian.anwander@consol.de |http://www.consol.de

Hi Florian, thanks for translation and correction! There you find the English version of the tools: .../Notes => Tips => Links.../Tools URL: www.modular-planet.de/_aspekte/tools-e.html Is all correct? Josef
