Re: [PD] closest frequency in scale
For other scales, you can store all the notes in an array. When each of your random numbers appears, do a quick search for the closest note in the scale.

Re: [PD] closest frequency in scale
Hi, I'm not sure I got your question right, but one thing you can do is map the output of your random number generator. Say you get a random number ranging from 0 to 1and you want the frequency to be between 200 Hz and 10KHz : - multiply the random number by 1 - 200 = 9800, - then add 200. You can change the two boundaries between two random numbers.

Re: [PD] closest frequency in scale
if you mean as specific scale the equal tempered you can use [ftom] to convert from frequency to midi note numbers. then you round this number to integer and with [mtof] back to have a frequency value. matthias Am 23.05.12 10:29, schrieb flad chester: Hi list, im new with pd, i was thinking about which should be the best way to implement this idea or maybe somebody has done something like this before: Im controlling the frequencies of my grains with a random number generator, but instead of controlling the frequencies directly i would like to select the closest frequency in a specific scale for each random value. how can i do this in pd? thanks in advance Flad ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
