Practical pitch changing

[David Ilvedson]

1/2 step equals 100 cents
1/4 step equals 50 cents
1/8 step equals 25 cents

This can be sharp or flat...

A quarter semi-tone? I think that's an eighth or 12.5/100. Your steps are
getting shorter all the time, Ron. You'll never win the race! But the beat
goes on.
