Converts an s32 cents value to an f32 ratio

Syntax

#include <libaudio.h>     /* libaudio.h */
f32 alCents2Ratio(s32 cents);

Arguments

cents

Value measured in cents (a cent is 100th of a whole step)

Description

alCents2Ratio is a utility routine for converting a detune value (measured in cents) into a ratio to be multiplied against the base pitch. Negative values lower the pitch, and positive values raise the pitch.

Example

A value of 1200 cents will produce a ratio value of 2, which when multiplied times the base pitch, will produce a pitch one octave higher. A value of -1200 will produce a ratio value of 0.5, which when multiplied against the base pitch will produce a pitch of one octave lower.
