I'm having second thoughts on this - The functionality is to use pitchbend to set up a periodic rate for a vibrato effect, right? (As I said, I've not used the feature [yet].) If so, hertz might be easier for the user to think about. For example, if you have a fast tempo (say, 144) and try to "visualize" (should that be "auditorialize"?) what, say, 7 cycles per quarter note would sound like at that tempo I think it would be rather hard. But if you're thinking in cycles per second all the time, I think that would be easier - you don't have to adjust your conceptualization of the sound to the tempo. So I think I change my vote to hertz, although for those who might have forgotten what hertz is, perhaps just "cycles per second". However, this appears to imply a choice of two different implementations, as well as the naming choice, since, e.g., 10 Hz is twice as slow as 10 cycles per quarter note at q=120 bpm. I suppose this just amounts to doing a calculation/conversion for the UI for one of the choices, so I suspect it's not a big deal. > > On Thu, 30 May 2013 09:39:17 -1000 > david <gn...@hawaii.rr.com> wrote: > > > While I've never used the pitchbend dialog, just off the top of my > > head, "cycles per quarter note" or "hertz" makes sense.
