HzToSemitones: Convert Hz to semitones

Description

Converts from Hz to semitones above C0 (~16.4 Hz). This may not seem very useful, but note that (1) this gives you a nice logarithmic scale for generating natural pitch transitions, (2) with the added benefit of getting musical notation for free from notesDict (see examples).

Usage

HzToSemitones(h)

Arguments

h

vector or matrix of frequencies (Hz)

Examples

# NOT RUN {
s = HzToSemitones(c(440, 293, 115))
# to convert to musical notation
notesDict$note[1 + round(s)]
# note the "1 +": semitones ABOVE C0, i.e. notesDict[1, ] is C0
# }
