The golden ratio can be used as a frequency multiplier or as a pitch fraction; in the former case it is known as [[acoustic phi]] and in the latter case it is known as [[logarithmic phi]]. | The golden ratio can be used as a frequency multiplier or as a pitch fraction; in the former case it is known as [[acoustic phi]] and in the latter case it is known as [[logarithmic phi]]. [[Lemba]] is particularly notable for approximating both simply and accurately simultaneously, at a generator + a period for acoustic and 2 generators for logarithmic, making it an excellent choice for experimenting with phi based composition. [[Triforce]] is also essentially based on dividing the 1/3 octave period into logarithmic phi sized fractions. | ||
