Musical Note Mode.

The Musical Note Mode works by comparing the VCO

frequency to a table of stored values corresponding to

Western musical notes. In this mode, the display will

show the numerical frequency reading, but once a

specific frequency is reached that is equivalent to a

known note value, the display will show the name of

the note. For example, if the VCO is tuned for 53Hz it

will display '53', but if the pitch were to reach 55Hz

the display will show 'A1' which is the musical note

A

of octave 1. A Note-to-Frequency chart is available

online and at the end of this guide.

Sharp notes are represented by a dot between the

note and octave number.
