librosa.tuning_to_A4
- librosa.tuning_to_A4(tuning, bins_per_octave=12)[source]
Convert a tuning deviation (from 0) in fractions of a bin per octave (e.g.,
tuning=-0.1) to a reference pitch frequency relative to A440.This is useful if you are working in a non-A440 tuning system to determine the reference pitch frequency given a tuning offset and assuming equal temperament. By default, 12 bins per octave are used.
This method is the inverse of
A4_to_tuning.- Parameters:
- tuningfloat or np.ndarray [shape=(n,), dtype=float]
Tuning deviation from A440 in fractional bins per octave.
- bins_per_octaveint > 0
Number of bins per octave.
- Returns:
- A4float or np.ndarray [shape=(n,), dtype=float]
Reference frequency corresponding to A4.
