Re: [elektron] Re: machinedrum pitch musical translation

2004-08-21 by Doug Varn

Joseph, 
thanks...the gweep site helps, but doesn't give note
values but does give Hz values, which i assume could
be translated.  also, it gives most of the machines,
but not all.

the other person mentioned some excel sheets with this
info...i'll hope on finding those.

i can't believe Elektron support didn't have this
info.

let me ask one general question:

on any machine, does +1/-1 pitch increment through
half-steps?  meaning, say a pitch is at C, then is +1
C sharp?  +2 = D?  etc.?
