"What do you think Fonzie?"
 
 
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

"A half-step is moving from one note to another within the chromatic scale." so im right in saying it is a semi tone ??
 
"Depends, there is a 5 hz difference between 435 and 440 (the two types of A's) but the problem or beauty of the hertz scale is that it is logarithmic." yeah i know that, frequency doubles/halfs with every octave

You are correct sir.

I am tuning to the Arabic scale included with my synth.
Or the India scale.
That's it, no more Western influence on anything anymore.

No more Western influence - except for the computer, the language, the font, the credit system you may have used to buy your gear,.... :)

Yunk, yunk, yunk!
 
Wait I guess I will tune sharp then when played back at 44100Hz normal, it will be flat then, and set it up + 0.02 percent or whatever.

Lol!
I like different intonation systems myself, though my familiarity with Indian and Arabic music is more through listening then playing. I have dabbled (in the lightest possible sense) in a handful of Indian ragas before, though Yaman is the only one I remember as it corresponds (if squared off and intonated) to Lydian. I love Indian scales for their use of pure ratios, ... The Western system compromised pure 3rds and the like for being able to modulate to different distant keys. 

Thanks for popping in to this thread, Audiounity.
 
Nice to hear from a fellow fan of Indian and Arabic music.
 
I know we in the West have lost a lot in our separation from "natural" and "pure" intervals.  I just have to listen to the possibilities that equal temperament opened up for us since to know it was worthwhile.
 
Anyway, back to A=342Hz...

I just finished reading this entire thread.
 
Now, quite frankly, my brain hertz......... ba dum bum.

Sadly, I couldn't think of a way of slipping "Love Hertz" into this post.
