For very low playback rates (down 5 >octaves), the error increases to approximately +/- .5 cents. > >Regardless of the method used to modulate the pitch (intonation table, pitch >bend, LFO, etc.) the resulting pitch is always rounded to the nearest cent >(1/100 of a semitone). > >The pitch bend response is linear in cents. If you throw the pitch wheel half >way, the pitch will change by half the amount specified (in cents). In >frequency space this is an exponential relationship. -andrew Safe Journey...
