John: I have given my P4-P5 octave test some careful critiquing and have decided that I am listening to the 6:4 5th beat speed and not the 3:2 beat speed. The octave width seems to be about 6:3 and not 4:2 when using the faster beating tests. I like the sound of the resulting octave very much. Can you explain how the A3-E4 and E4-A4 beat speeds are equal in a 4:2 octave? On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 9:17 AM, John Formsma <formsma at gmail.com> wrote: > <Snip> > Tune A4, then A3.
