'''Logarithmic phi''', or 1200*[[Phi|<math>\varphi</math>]] cents = 1941.6 cents (or, octave-reduced, 741.6 cents) is useful as a generator, for example in [[Erv Wilson]]'s "Golden Horagrams". As a frequency relation it is <math>2^{\varphi}</math>, or <math>2^{\varphi - 1} = 2^{1/\varphi}</math> when octave-reduced. | '''Logarithmic phi''', or 1200*[[Phi|<math>\varphi</math>]] cents = 1941.6 cents (or, octave-reduced, 741.6 cents) is useful as a generator, for example in [[Erv Wilson]]'s "Golden Horagrams".

Logarithmic phi is not to be confused with [[acoustic phi]], which is 833.1¢. | Logarithmic phi is not to be confused with [[acoustic phi]], which is 833.1¢. | ||
