| Oct 2, 2016 at 9:34 | comment | added | Tim | U and v cannot be the same frequency distance apart, as u is a minor third whilst v is a major second. The idea is that any interval that is the same as another will have the same relative pitch differential ( if I've phrased it correctly). | |
| Oct 2, 2016 at 6:57 | comment | added | user33689 | @MatthewRead please feel free to edit the question to make it useful; I had no intention to make any new theory... I've just asked my query, and maybe what I'm thinking as an illusion for me, is merely a poor-observation. However I've got my answer and ticked it. If declaring it as a community wiki is helpful, I could do that. | |
| Oct 2, 2016 at 3:44 | comment | added | user28 | As for the ratio of 2: A note and its octave differ by a factor of two. In your diagram, the white key furthest to the left has a frequency that is 1/2 of the white key 3rd from the right, etc. | |
| Oct 2, 2016 at 3:41 | comment | added | user28 | There is also zero innate different between white notes and black notes; it's purely to aid playing, which is why other instruments played differently do not have such an obvious distinction between adjacent semitones. There are even keyboards where every key is physically identical. TL;DR: Make fewer assumptions, and start your questions from a more basic level while you learn! | |
| Oct 2, 2016 at 3:40 | comment | added | user28 | The downvotes are likely coming from the fact that you'd invented an idea and then asked about that idea, rather than asking directly about the underlying relationship between notes. It is also quite hard to follow since your graphic and wording seems to be related to the physical distance between keys on the keyboard -- which is both varied and meaningless from a theoretical standpoint -- instead of with regard to actual notes. | |

| Oct 1, 2016 at 20:31 | comment | added | user33689 | I've improved the question. Still any cause for downvote? I'm not seeking any upvote, I'm just asking for the cause behind this downvote. | |

| Oct 1, 2016 at 17:39 | comment | added | user33689 | @Tim thanks you've understood correctly what I was trying to tell. Should I replace all the "frequency difference" with "frequency multiple"? | |

| Oct 1, 2016 at 17:24 | comment | added | user33689 | Could you help what to search about that 'ratio'? | |
| Oct 1, 2016 at 17:18 | comment | added | Tim | Isn't this where 12edo (12et) comes in? But not the same frequency difference but ratio. Frequency difference just can't work. | |
