  2. Five-limit tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-limit_tuning

    5-limit Tonnetz. Five-limit tuning, 5-limit tuning, or 5-prime-limit tuning (not to be confused with 5-odd-limit tuning), is any system for tuning a musical instrument that obtains the frequency of each note by multiplying the frequency of a given reference note (the base note) by products of integer powers of 2, 3, or 5 (prime numbers limited to 5 or lower), such as 2 −3 ·3 1 ·5 1 = 15/8.

  3. Pythagorean tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning

    Starting from D for example (D-based tuning), six other notes are produced by moving six times a ratio 3:2 up, and the remaining ones by moving the same ratio down: E♭–B♭–F–C–G–D–A–E–B–F♯–C♯–G♯ This succession of eleven 3:2 intervals spans across a wide range of frequency (on a piano keyboard, it

  4. Twelfth root of two - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_root_of_two

    The twelfth root of two or (or equivalently /) is an algebraic irrational number, approximately equal to 1.0594631.It is most important in Western music theory, where it represents the frequency ratio (musical interval) of a semitone (Play ⓘ) in twelve-tone equal temperament.

    For 8-bit integers the table of quarter squares will have 2 9 −1=511 entries (one entry for the full range 0..510 of possible sums, the differences using only the first 256 entries in range 0..255) or 2 9 −1=511 entries (using for negative differences the technique of 2-complements and 9-bit masking, which avoids testing the sign of ...

  6. Computational complexity of mathematical operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity...

    Here, complexity refers to the time complexity of performing computations on a multitape Turing machine. [1] See big O notation for an explanation of the notation used. Note: Due to the variety of multiplication algorithms, M ( n ) {\displaystyle M(n)} below stands in for the complexity of the chosen multiplication algorithm.

  7. 12 equal temperament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_equal_temperament

    12-tone equal temperament chromatic scale on C, one full octave ascending, notated only with sharps. Play ascending and descending ⓘ. 12 equal temperament (12-ET) [a] is the musical system that divides the octave into 12 parts, all of which are equally tempered (equally spaced) on a logarithmic scale, with a ratio equal to the 12th root of 2 (≈ 1.05946).

  8. Frequency multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_multiplier

    The ideal (but impractical) impulse train generates an infinite number of (weak) harmonics. In practice, an impulse train generated by a monostable circuit will have many usable harmonics. YIG multipliers using step recovery diodes may, for example, take an input frequency of 1 to 2 GHz and produce outputs up to 18 GHz. [1]
