Rounding up numbers to a specific set of values
I'm faced with the following problem:
I would like to round up random values going from 0 to 255 to the fixed values of the frequencies of the C major Scale.
I want the random value to be converted to the nearest frequency value in the C major Scale.
For example, if I have the value 422 I would like it to be converted the an A1 which is has the value of 440 (in hertz).
I hope you will be able to help me,
Thank you very much !
maybe scale that to 12 steps [scale 0 255 0 11] and then it's easy to call notes with it. strange that you're then talking about a value higher than 255?
420 is higher then 255: True. Haha. I was thinking about multiple ways to do it so my example wasn't fitting was I had said above.
Thank you very much for figuring that out for me!
It was pretty simple I don't know why I didn't think of it...
I'm a bit tired today
Have a nice day :)
because you were talking about major you would have to scale it to 7 steps of course, but you know that..
have a nice day, too
O.
ftom is your friend here. 422 is not going to round to A 440 though, as it's closer to the G# below.
