Dear Olivier and Utku,
This reminds me of a pitch calculation table I had undertaken by hand, to cross-check my Mus2 MIDI output imported in Logic Pro, when preparing the audio mix of my score arrangement of Ivor Darreg's 19-tET pieces under the title "Darreg's Motley" for MELM: Microtonalist Entrepreneurs International Meeting (
http://www.ozanyarman.com/musics.html) played by Academic Başkent String Ensemble in Ankara.
You can check the relevant Mus2 files attached.
1 cent corresponds to 40.96 Midi Tuning Units (MTU) and the maximum tuning range is assumed to be 200 cents up and down (-8192 ... 0 ... +8191 MTU) in Logic Pro. Therefore, with A at 440 Hz corresponding to 0 MTU / cents detuning, the calculation table is as follows:
12-tET pivot points 19-tET notes and cents detuning MTU detuning
0 cents C +15.78947 +647
100 cents C# -21.05263 -862
100 cents Db +42.10526 +1725
200 cents D +5.26316 +216
300 cents D# -31.57895 -1293
300 cents Eb +31.57895 +1293
400 cents E -5.26316 -216
500 cents E#/Fb -42.10526 -1725
500 cents F +21.05263 +862
600 cents F# -15.78947 -647
600 cents Gb +47.36842 +1940
700 cents G +10.52632 +431
800 cents G# -26.31579 -1078
800 cents Ab +36.8421 +1509
900 cents A 0 (reference freq. = 440 Hz) 0
1000 cents A# -36.8421 -1509
1000 cents Bb +26.31579 +1078
1100 cents B -10.52632 -431
1200 cents B#/Cb -47.36842 -1940
1200 cents c +15.78947 +647
Note, that the incorrect assignment (if the negative/positive signs escape your attention) of almost the same integer MTU values for several notes, except toward opposite directions, will ruin the whole tuning!
This is a very simple mistake to make, and to complicate matters, Logic does not show the + sign for positive MTU detunings. It took me many hours to meticulously check which absolute detuning value corresponded to which 19-tET note.
To align 19-tET's A to the 900 cent A to match 0 cents detuning, the operation here is:
{(1200 / 19) * n } + {900 - [(1200 : 19) * 14] }
Where n is the degree of 19-tET.
To convert to MTU, just multiply the outputs with 40.96 and round to the nearest integer.
