Is there a cheap/free EQ that displays the semitone instead of (or as well as) frequency?

None come to mind, but you could always just use a calculator to figure it out.

Go to http://www.expdigital.co.uk/ and download S-cal.

Its futile... Since the EQ is also controlling harmonics that are unrelated to the "name" of the note. Got it?

Uhm... Filterscape does semitones... values 0-100 correspond to midi notes 55-155... or at least, I think so...

Cheers,

Urs

Just looked it up, 45-145... that's 55Hz - somewhat above 15kHz or so...

(of course, Midi note 145 does not reall exists, but who cares?)

freakoscope, freeware.

edit: nm, I thought you were looking for a spectral analyzer. Still a useful tool however.

I don't think it's futile... The eq will affect the harmonics around the primcipal frequencies, but it will still affect the frequenies themselves. You can louden or soften a note with any eq.

Maybe it's time to redefine the MIDI standard.
Wouldn't that be *quite* something, instead of just developing plugins?

It's not an EQ in and of itself, but hook up an EQ before it and it'll map frequencies to those keyboard notes from audio in, so you can then look at it and say, "ah, my snare is playing the frequency of C#" for instance...

And I think you're right; it would be great if an EQ like this did exist. Like if that graph EQ at the bottom of the picture above actually affected output (it doesn't, it just changes the display).

i you find an synthedit module w/ sound you like.. i don't f**k wit eqs in se so no insight myself, but i'll box it up if you do that shitty part :p

Sounds like my kind of eq plug.

go easy on me, donks! :p

hokay, i'll do this.. at the very least i can do a bpf or something but will have a fiddle with eq modules in a min.

EQ that displays semitones
