From: Drew Skyfyre For 12-TET the std. is A 440Hz,which puts C at 261.6255653006 Hz (Graphing Calc. at work->1 more reason to love a Mac). Now what I need to know is, what do those of you who have been at this for a while use as a fundamental.Does anyone use 261.625......? ,it appears to me to be a poor choice.A whole no. would be easier to deal with.Do some of you use 'arbitrary' freqs ?. This has probably been discussed before,oui ? If so,just give me directions,if you like. Also,since the term Octave is related to 12-TET, is there a more approprite word to use ? This is just semantics,but it may help think along a different plane . -Drew
