making a 50 cent tuning system
I want to make a midi implementation of a quart tone system, based on the following expression that is the abstraction of mtof
expr (440. * exp(.057762265 * ($f1 - 69.)))
I am not very good at maths, so what I want to do is to divide an octave in 24 parts.. for an instance, instead of having relations like c, c#, d, I want to have c - C#1 - c#2 - d
where c#1 c#2 are quart tones
This equation will do what you're looking for. It uses MIDI note value 69=440Hz and works in quarter tones from there.

i know that it does.. the only thing i don't know is which float number to use to make the conversion to a quarter tones (50 cents relation) instead of 100 cents relations
Apologies, I meant the equation I included in the compressed max file posted underneath. To view it, highlight all the text including the ------ bits at the beginning and end, copy, then open a new max document and paste it in. If you use max 4 then it won't work, but the equation is:
[expr (pow(2.,(($f1-69.)/24.)))*440.]
where the value "24" is how many divisions you want per octave. If this value was 12 the equation would behave exactly as the standard [mtof] object does. It is another way of writing the equation you had in your first post.

You beat me to it.
All the attribute names seem to start with the word "bling."
Innit?
