TWPitch facilitates the use of pitch class notation in SuperCollider. Pitch class notation is a system in which pitches and their enharmonic equivalents are identified by integers ranging from 0
to 11
:
0: C
1: C sharp / D flat
2: D
...
9: A
10: A sharp / B flat
11: B
Octaves are identified by integers ranging from 0
to inf
. Pitch class 0
in octave 0
produces C at ~8.176Hz. Pitch class 9
in octave 5
produces A at 440.0Hz.
