*chromatic-scale*
Holds a tuning of the standard chromatic
scale. Note names in the chromatic scale are formed by combining a
pitch class name from (c d e f g a b
) with an optional
natural (n
), sharp (s
), flat
(f
), double-sharp (ss
) or double-flat
(ff
) and an optional octave number -1 to 9. For
example, a4
is tuning A with a key number of 69, or 440
Hz; the note c-1
is the C in the lowest octave, or key
number 0 at 8.175798 Hz and note bss9
is the highest note
in the scale at key number of 133 with a frequency of 17739.684 Hz.
