| Aug 4, 2014 at 22:38 | comment | added | Bob Broadley | @Dom, this is really interesting. Are you asking about limits to which the octave can be divided before notes are either: not discernibly different in pitch; not discernibly different in function (i.e. they just sound "out-of-tune")? If so, might it be worth making some mention of microtonality in the question (and maybe title)? | |

| Jun 24, 2014 at 20:51 | comment | added | Dom♦ | @ninemileskid That is the heart of the question. What is theoretically a unique note and practically a unique. | |
| Jun 24, 2014 at 20:43 | comment | added | ninemileskid | Do 440.00 Hz and 440.01 Hz count as unique notes? Can we consider electronic instruments with arbitrarily large number of "unique" oscillators? Do you want to restrict the amount time over which the notes can be arpeggiated? | |
| Jun 24, 2014 at 20:14 | comment | added | Dom♦ | @ninemileskid I mean unique notes. I.E. not including octaves or overtones. | |
| Jun 24, 2014 at 20:12 | comment | added | ninemileskid | Can you tell us exactly what you mean by "note" and "as if sounding simultaneously"? This is important for both of your questions, as the definitions are extremely fluid. Also, the answer might depend on whether you have a specific instrument or ensemble in mind, since in some situations you can hear overtones or sympathetic resonances, which could count as additional "notes". | |
