Tempered Scale Generation from a Single Frequency Source

Authors: Cotton, Jr., Robert B.

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 20 · Issue 5 · pp. 376–382 · June 1972

Abstract

With the development of low-cost high-speed MOS circuitry, it is currently possible to overcome the cost and tuning deficiencies of the conventional twelve-oscillator organ frequency generator by employing a generator comprising a single high-frequency master oscillator in conjunction with various digital calculating systems. A recent comprehensive study of three such systems indicates that only one has high purity of tone combined with pitch accuracy for tempered scale generation.
