I used to do this quite easily from XMMS to tune my guitar - never tried |
| 13 |
it with it's spinoffs though (bmp, etc) |

To do it was quite simple, you get the frequencies you want and stick |
| 16 |
them in a file like so: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
#EXTM3U |
| 19 |
#EXTINF:-1,Tone Generator: 82.4 Hz;164.8 Hz;247.2 Hz;329.6 Hz |
| 20 |
tone://82.407;164.814;247.221;329.628 |
| 21 |
#EXTINF:-1,Tone Generator: 110.0 Hz;220.0 Hz;330.0 Hz;440.0 Hz |
| 22 |
tone://110.000;220.000;330.000;440.000 |
| 23 |
#EXTINF:-1,Tone Generator: 146.8 Hz;293.7 Hz;440.5 Hz;587.3 Hz |
| 24 |
tone://146.832;293.665;440.497;587.330 |
| 25 |
#EXTINF:-1,Tone Generator: 196.0 Hz;392.0 Hz;588.0 Hz;784.0 Hz |
| 26 |
tone://195.998;391.995;587.993;783.991 |
| 27 |
#EXTINF:-1,Tone Generator: 246.9 Hz;493.9 Hz;740.8 Hz;987.8 Hz |
| 28 |
tone://246.942;493.883;740.825;987.767 |
| 29 |
#EXTINF:-1,Tone Generator: 329.6 Hz;659.3 Hz;988.9 Hz;1318.5 Hz |
| 30 |
tone://329.628;659.255;988.883;1318.510 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
these are base frequencies and harmonics for E, A, D, G, B and E |
| 33 |
strings. Then I just open the file in xmms and play! |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
However, I'm sure there was some plugin I needed... It was called "tone |
| 36 |
generator" or something... sorry for being vague, but it's been a while |
| 37 |
since I used this method :) If you want me to do some more digging, |
| 38 |
then let me know! |
