Hello list,

I am playing with some bass line generation in my spare time and was
wondering wether anyone could specify a good formula for calculating
octaves of a specified frequency ?

I know a simple formula which doesn't account for octave stretching is :
o = 2^(n) f

where f is the specified frequency, n is the octave >0 for higher octaves
and <0 for lower octaves i.e. ... -2, -1, 1, 2, ... and 'o' is octave
frequency.

thanks
