Re: [chuck-users] Power operator in chuck

Hi Tennessee,

As note progressions (and pitch perceptions) are logarithmic, being able to access a decent power operator seems important. I want to start with a walk up an octave, divided into an arbitrary number of segments.

You may have found this already: std.mtof( float ) converts MIDI pitch (note number) to frequency in Hz. Adjacent note numbers are a semitone apart (so every 12 is an octave) and the function will also take fractional values as well. std.ftom( float ) converts in the other direction, from frequency to MIDI note number. Here is a chart mapping some MIDI note numbers -> frequencies: http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tutr/notefreq.htm Best, Ge!
