Yttrium Neutral Newbie June 27, 2005 Share June 27, 2005 (edited) .. but this chart only shows the fundamental frequencies.. they go up to 4khz or so? Don't forget the harmonics and other overtones that give each musical instrument their individual unique character Edited June 27, 2005 by Yttrium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seansene 1st Gear June 27, 2005 Share June 27, 2005 Which is why an electric piano NEVER sounds has the presence of a real one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarong1 1st Gear June 27, 2005 Author Share June 27, 2005 Agree with you definitely...this is most appreciated by anyone that plays instruments as well...the harmonics are indeed unique in their own rights...to distinguish them within any ICE is gonna be a "climax"...The charts are basic(s) to get things going. This will not frighten off newcomers to our forum...You care to share more and contribute to this "sticky sticky"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarong1 1st Gear June 27, 2005 Author Share June 27, 2005 People may find this chart useful in discovering the correct tuning for your ICE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yttrium Neutral Newbie June 27, 2005 Share June 27, 2005 (edited) and also why audio systems will never be able to reproduce exactly the sound of a real piano... which brings us to the issue of ? Edited June 27, 2005 by Yttrium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the harmonics and other overtones that give each musical instrument their individual unique character Just explaining things based on musical sense. Apology it was never meant to be so technical in the discussion as i wonder if we need to be so sharp with our ears that we can do frequency separation or identifying crosstalks? i guess we missed the point in life. We are not spectum analyser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yttrium Neutral Newbie June 27, 2005 Share June 27, 2005 (edited) Don't misunderstand my post... I do see the musical aspect that you are trying to point out. I was just adding on... not disputing you Edited June 27, 2005 by Yttrium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart7004 Neutral Newbie June 27, 2005 Share June 27, 2005 Dun worry. Just find that the discussion has become so technical that we have missed the joy of just understanding musical instrument. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yttrium Neutral Newbie June 27, 2005 Share June 27, 2005 Yeah .. ultimately it's about enjoying the music ;-) case in point was when I saw my boss and his family singing along and enjoying the music pumping out from a little mini-compo.. which didn't do any justice at all to its CD source.. but they didn't care Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yttrium Neutral Newbie June 27, 2005 Share June 27, 2005 Since we are talking about frequencies... and most ppl agree that the human ear can only pick up frequencies up to 20KHz.. what's your take on those super-tweeters? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
