	'''Pitch''' is the ''logarithmic'' measure of how "high" or "low" a sound is, which reflects the way human hearing works: instead of hearing absolute frequencies, we instead tend to hear ~~ratios between frequencies. A~~ [[ratio]] in [[frequency]] corresponds to a simple additive number in pitch. While frequency is measured in {{w\|hertz}} (oscillations per second), pitch is measured in logarithmic scales, such as [[2/1\|octaves]] and [[cent]]s. [[Equal tuning]]s are equally divided in pitch (e.g. [[12edo]]'s steps are 1/12 of an octave in pitch, but 2<sup>1/12</sup> in frequency); the unit of a cent corresponds to 1/1200 of an octave, such that the ratio [[3/2]] is about 702 cents.

Godtone: the redirect to a not very good definition is unhelpful; wikipedia already explains this concept fairly well as it's not xen-specific
