This should not rely on the knowledge of tempered vals (the generator tuning map is more of a tval, so it may be mentioned there -- but that's another topic). Also the specific unit (cent) is not part of the definition |

It is similar to a standard [[val]], but it specifies the tuning of a temperament in terms of logarithmic [[interval size unit]]s (such as [[cent]]s) rather than scale steps. Some people consider it a type of val. It can take a vector representation of an interval ([[monzo]]) as input and outputs its pitch, usually measured in cents or octaves. | ||
