If that sentence above doesn't make any sense, it might be an idea to read up on musical harmony and the like. :-) -- Joe Kotroczo kotroczo(a)mac.com

Some FX units measure pitch change in Semitones, some in cents, some in other ways ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitone I actually studied this stuff in college a few decades ago. I have an almost useless degree in music. -Denny

Shall we confuse them by mentioning that only in the Equal Temperament a Semitone is actually 100 Cent, in any other temperament it's a different value... ;-) -- Joe Kotroczo kotroczo(a)mac.com

Wiki says: "In music theory, a distinction is made[citation needed] between a diatonic semitone (a minor second, e.g. from C to D♭) and a chromatic semitone (an augmented unison, e.g. from C to C♯). A diatonic semitone may further be distinguished into a major diatonic semitone, 15:14 or 119 cents, and a minor diatonic semitone, 17:16 or 105 cents.[4] The minor diatonic semitone may be derived from the harmonic series as the interval between the sixteenth and seventeenth harmonics. In twelve-tone equal temperament all semitones are equal in size. Any equal-tempered interval can be defined in terms of an appropriate number of semitones (e.g. an octave is 12 semitones wide). In other tuning systems the term "semitone" refers to a family of intervals which may vary both in size and name." And Wiki gives a listening example of Tritone: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/32/Tritone.mid Apparently I was wrong about the Tritone being the most dissonant harmony. An augmented unison is the most dissonant. - Denny
