Ratios

giacomo
Hi everyone. I'm looking at the Essence and have a basic/beginner's question. I wondering how operator frequency ratios translate into Essence language. I guess integer ratios are just the Multiplier value, because I saw in a video that this value seems to jump by integers. But what about everything to the right of the decimal point? Does quartertones correspond in a clear way? Or does fine tune correspond? For example, does 255 in fine = 1 in Multiplier?
Sorry for elementary question. If I missed it in the manual. Thanks!

+24 quartertones = +1 multiplier
+100 fine = +1 quartertone

For 1.5 multiplier you would set quartertones to 12
For 1.25 multiplier you would set quartertones to 6

Ah, yes. Of course. This makes perfect sense.
Thanks

And now I see that the ratio is displayed in the operator.
So we don't need to make those (not so difficult) calculations.
Terrific!
