this may have been obvious to some people but i had to figure it out. sharing new (to me) knowledge. might help the musicality of some rasselbock patternage

Ratio 3/4 --> 5 semitones below input

Ratio 2/3 --> 7 semitones below input

Ratio 1/2 --> 12 semitones below input

Ratio 1/3 --> 19 semitones below input

Ratio 1/4 --> 24 semitones (2 8va) below input

Ratio 1/6 --> 31 semitones below input

Ratio 1/8 --> 36 semitones (3 8va) below input

Ratio 1/16 --> 48 semitones (4 8va) below input

the outputs for Ratios 2/3, 1/3, and 1/6 are respectively one, two and three octaves below the major fourth.

i might be wrong. please comment if you find an error here :)

  • Genius!

  • Excellent research!

  • @Smily the first half of each measure is the unaffected tone, the third quarter note of each measure is the rbock affected tone, the fourth quarter note is the unaffected tone to compare the rbock's output to. i've tried in a few places and it seems to hold true for me, (but maybe my ears are off). select all of the notes in the notetrack and move them up and down and play it. if you find a mismatch in third and fourth tones of a measure, it's a bad theory, let me know ;)

  • good man

  • interesting demo, for semitones don't really know if it's rigth maybe it depends of the original wave form no?

  • Ahh I thought about this pretty often but was too lazy to try it out ... thanks man for sharing your knowledge

  • nice.

  • you have taught me something new welldone:)

  • nice research good to know I usually try to play it by ear

  • There a couple of sites that also list the frequencies of notes eg: Eb 155.56;311.13;587.33 etc....but this king of stuff makes my eyes bleed. lol

  • nice, very useful

  • what is this close encounters? lol

  • indeed. and great to hear that clean notes

  • thanks drone very helpful :)
