So for example, if you change A3 by 1 Hz at the fundamental, you've changed it 8 cents, because A6 is its 8th partial, so the 1Hz change is multiplied by 8, and 8 cents at A6 = 8 Hz. ![]() And, it's true whether you're thinking about A6 as the fundamental, or as a harmonic of a lower note. This is the only pitch for which this is true. So at A5, 2 cents=1 Hz, and now, here's the key, So:Įvery half step contains 100 cents, but the Hz doubles each octave higher. Memorize what Al wrote, plus the key below, and everything else can be estimated in your head from that. Here's an easy way to convert between beats and cents.
