== Mapping the Hammond’s Rational Intervals (cont.):  Examples ==
The following examples illustrate how to map intervals or chords to the harmonic series. In the first example we map the combination of a Hammond Organ’s note E and a higher note A (a fourth up):
<u>Table 2:</u> Mapping a single interval
The resulting interval appears between partial # 206 and partial # 275. The frequency ratio is (275:206), which equals 500.14 cents.
