Text: The frequencies of a note are not fixed except in context of an established scale. By entering any number in the Fundamental field above and to the left the computations (click Calculate button) determine what the other relative frequencies (intervals) are. Notes are relative pitches and not fixed frequencies. On the other hand, in a given scale, the intervals or the distances between the notes are fixed relative to each other. For more information see Ratios and Intervals cards.
