Re: More precise pitch options?

Gary Smith-2
I've gotten more than a few off list comments on this and every one
has been a good read. I put the idea out and apparently it resonated
(pun intended) with many on the list.

If you want to see just how connected you are to perfect pitch, how
well you can identify random sequences in notes and how good your
ability to discern rhythm then check out this web page and click on
the "Music Tests". You will need Java to run the tests. Fwiw,
according to the "adaptive pitch" test & using my Bose QC15 headsets
at 61 YO I can reliably discriminate to .23 Hz. I don't have perfect
pitch but it is pretty close.

As to the K3, I love the diversity mode on the low bands.

Re: More precise pitch options?

I scored average, which disappointed me a little.

However, I would NOT say you have a memory like a sieve if you could
remember the long sequence of notes in a lot of those 36 sample audio clips.

Thanks for bringing this one up, Gary.  Amateur scientists like me love this
sort of stuff :)

Best to you and yours, Gary.

        Gary, VE1RGB
