What is the Name of one twelfth of an octave?
the twelfth of an octave is equal to a semitone ,which is the smallest interval in music an interval is every other note ,the deference of pitch in music,like a major chord.
What is the standard frequency between two adjacent musical notes?
The musical interval between two notes depends on the ratio of their frequencies. An octave is a ratio of 2:1 and, in equal temperament comprises 12 equal semitones, which therefore have a ratio of 21/12.
What is a chromatic scale in musical terms?
A chromatic scale is a scale where each note of it is separated by a semiton - that is - it includes all the notes that exist. C1, C1#, D1, D1#, E1, F1, F1# ... B1, C2, C2#, D2... etc For instance, in a keyboard that would mean you'd play all the white and black keys sucessively.
How many different notes in a slendro scale?
There are 5 different notes in a slendro scale. Each interval is an equal division of an octave. (i.e. each interval is about 2.2 semitones.)
Sine waves and time are musical structures?
Sine waves with frequencies in the audio range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, properly converted to pressure waves in air, can be heard as musical tones. The notes of the musical scale, for the equal tempered scale, are step changes in frequency with the ratio of the twelth root of two, or 1.059463. The sequence of occurence of frequencies is a melodic line. The combination of sine wave of various frequencies is harmonic and chordal structure. If you double the frequency of a sine wave, you get an octave. Triple it and you get an octave and a fifth. Each multiple represents a harmonic, the mixture of which represents timbre. You can also divide the various harmonics by various integers and generate the primary intervals, the minor third, major third, fourth, and fifth. "The Science of Musical Sound", John R. Pierce, Scientific American Library, 1983
