SYNTHESIZER RE-TUNING TO THE ANCIENT SOLFEGGIO: Part 1--Dr. Leonard Horowitz Interviews Michael Walton

why does 443 = 528? you guys go into that more maybe?

It could be the analog to digital converters in the computer sound card. The cheaper the sound card the less accurate the computer will read the tone.

Is it true that birds chirp and bees buzz to these frequencies?

If you search 528 Hz with Wolfram Alpha it come out to be " C# 5 + 16cents ". still there is no real research that is stating that this is true about this frequency.

what you're saying is that a handheld tuner when asked to tune up 2Hz will add exactly 2Hz to every note so that:
C = 263.625
C# = 279.183
D = 295.665
Eb = 313.127
E = 331.628
F = 351.228
G = 393.995
Ab = 415.305
A = 442
Bb = 468.164
B = 495.883
This makes B 6 cents flat, quite inaccurate.
So how do you know how handheld tuners calculate so poorly?

It's quite well known in the music business and with programmers that electronic devices: tuners and keyboards cannot reproduce frequencies 100% accurate. It's because of the decimal. That's my point the whole time, It doesn't matter if real 528Hz is 443 or 444Hz. on a real piano tuned accurately with the precise math, the tuner processes it it's own way. I'm not gona say it uses only total whole numbers but it will be off by 1 or 2 Hz. depending on the device.
but it has it's limits & methods

In a certain sense, the tuner is more accurate from a sonic point of view: everything it senses above or below it's octave is either in tune with it's basic foundation or not regardless of the math. Every instrument produces over and undertones which can affect it.

Just like when classical musicians want to use baroque tuning 1/2 step down they go from A=440 to A=415 25Hz. lower. So don't ride on a bunch of shit out of context. I wasn't talking about a scale. I'm talking about calibration.




So if you add 4Hz to to A4 give then frequency of A5 Jaq.

1.6187928 x 263.625 = 443.363 not 442

It's almost the golden ratio you're using 1.618033 lol! The fuqing tuner or your synth will not read or produce it as such though!
