In acoustical analysis, a one-third octave band is defined as a frequency band whose upper band-edge frequency ( f 2 or f max ) is the lower band frequency ( f 1 or f min ) times the tenth root of ten, [4] or 1.2589 : The first of the one-third octave bands ends at a frequency 125.9% higher than the starting frequency for all of them, the base ...
A one-third octave is a logarithmic unit of frequency ratio equal to either one third of an octave (1200/3 = 400 cents: major third) or one tenth of a decade (3986.31/10 = 398.631 cents: M3 Play ⓘ). [1] An alternative (unambiguous) term for one tenth of a decade is a decidecade. [2] [3]
An octave is the interval between one musical pitch and another with double or half its frequency. For example, if one note has a frequency of 440 Hz, the note one octave above is at 880 Hz, and the note one octave below is at 220 Hz. The ratio of frequencies of two notes an octave apart is therefore 2:1.
Since the dawn of time, rock bands have been giving themselves really stupid names. This was especially true in the 1960s when anyone with 20 hits of acid and a thesaurus could name a band ...
Octave clef Treble and bass clefs can be modified by octave numbers. An "8" below the clef (as in the third diagram) indicates that pitches will sound an octave lower than they would with the unmodified clef. A "15" below indicates a two-octave shift. These numbers may also be used above the clef to indicate pitches one or two octaves higher.
This is a list of the fundamental frequencies in hertz (cycles per second) of the keys of a modern 88-key standard or 108-key extended piano in twelve-tone equal temperament, with the 49th key, the fifth A (called A 4), tuned to 440 Hz (referred to as A440). [1] [2] Every octave is made of twelve steps called semitones.
Five and a half steps down from standard tuning. Used by the deathgrind band Maruta, the instrumental doom metal band Bongripper, and the progressive metal band Meshuggah (however the band uses 8-string guitars). Octave tuning – E-A-D-G-B-E Six full steps (one octave) down from standard tuning.
