Really? --new concept for me-- Scientific Pitch = A432 = Pythagorean pitch?
Hmm, well that brought up some interesting pages when I Googled for it.
I'm interested in creating music based at this pitch for a variety of reasons
- one of my major motivations for wanting to use computers for music is to
explore the realms of intonation, pitch and temperament. I shall be compiling
scala over the holidays to that end. It's all relative I guess. ;-)
Thanks for that lead.
