Best Answer

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 does Calib stand for on your tuner?

The 'Calib' button on your chromatic tuner is used to calibrate the tuner. Standard tuning has 440 hertz frequency difference between half-steps on the musical scale. Some tuners will allow you to re-tune this to 441 or a few hertz off. The calibrate button selects the frequency. Make sure you get it set to the right frequency (stick with 440 hertz), or you'll create audible harmonic interference when playing with others.
