Sort of, just a little more user-friendly. It's a simple reference for people who want to know which two bytes to plug into $4006-7 (et al.) in order to obtain a desired musical pitch, without getting bogged down in tables, calculations, formulas, ASCII diagrams, etc. Every reference I've been able to find seems to consist heavily of the latter, when all I want are those two little bytes! --[[User:Dr. Floppy|Dr. Floppy]] ([[User talk:Dr. Floppy|talk]]) 22:30, 14 October 2013 (MDT) | Sort of, just a little more user-friendly.

:In my experience, someone developing a music engine doesn't want ''a'' pitch but instead a ''set'' of pitches to use for all the notes that will be played over the course of the program. Does your music engine store pitches in musical phrases as two bytes (a literal period) or as one (a note number)? I understand that the latter is more common in real music engines. --[[User:Tepples|Tepples]] ([[User talk:Tepples|talk]]) 07:58, 15 October 2013 (MDT) | |||

Isn't this the same as APU period table? --Tepples (talk) 20:27, 14 October 2013 (MDT)
