| What would the beat rate have been had you used D#5 as a strike
tone?

| coincidence when the F2-G#2 minor third was played?

The F2--G#2 in music theoery is not a minor third but some kind of
second, perhaps augmented?  If the minor 3rd is a 6/5 ratio does this
mean the augmented second is a 7:6? The interval G#2--D#5 is if not
mistaken, 6--1 ratio.  what then is the F2--D#5 ratio.?  Getting too
late to figure it all out.    ---ric |
