Omg, you trying to say me: One fret just changes the base-note a half-tone upwards ? That even sounds very logical to me I didnt know, its that easy! The 12th fret raises it by a whole octave ! wow, thats alot. That also means: one string can reach lower/higher sounds as another string? This is a big help I got a huge load of different soundfonts, they are basically all sampled with 'open strings' (or at a specific 'fret-level') but at least it seems common to me. So i just use a soundfont that contains the samples at fret-level '0' ..and then transpose the note a +50cents upward for one fret ? Thats almost as simple as playing piano and also lets me think: All the scales out there are just used for that same reason: a piano has only # notes (black-keys) between some specific keys ..and all instruments are the same - in 'theory' well, i think its a question of the 'harmony' and 'accoustic' at least thanks for now. I will try how my results will be with this new knowledge

Hi everyone *welcomes myself to the forums* Well, i'am mixing for a while. But now i found some tabs from various Guitar & Bass-lines. I want to transpose them in my sequencer ( i dont own a real guitar or anything but i got some knowledge..) Every guitar/Bass or most string-instruments, have the 'Frets' - the guitar player holds them (whatever it is called) to give a note a slight intonation.. as i know: Usually a guitar has 24 Frets ? every Fret tunes the note a slightly higher. The first Fret is the widest (in lenght) and they get ascending smaller.. Now i wanted to know:How big is the pitch-difference of one Fret, in cents ? I believe every guitar sounds a little different but there must be some "standart" arround. Or the guitar would sound totally out of tune! Now, i searched for this all arround in the net and i'am not able to find anything about that. Only stuff about fret-positions, intonation calculated in Hz etc.. But how big is the intonation that one fret gives to the tone, measured in CENTS ?????? c'mon guys - there must be some info about this. my goal is to transpose all the notes at the exact pitch from a Guitar or Bass Tab according to the Fret-positions. How the hell do you guys do that ? i'am 10000% sure that's possible and well known to a every digital musician ..i can't believe i'am the really first guy that wonders about it Edit: Well it is that simple: I got a guitar soundfont (all notes are 'fretless'), a sequencer and a nice guitar-tab. Now i want to transpose all the notes in the correct tone-height, including the intonation of the fret-positions but with a soundfont that only contains 'fretless' samples. How do i do that ? How does anybody out-there do that ? only thing i got so far: The 12th fret gives the difference of a half half-tone. So the 24th Fret should give the difference of a whole half-tone ..is that true ? i think not ...elsewhere i read something like: one Fret has to be about 2 cents difference ..the 12th fret 16 cents and so on.. but i really have no idea ! Oh and here's the desired Tab http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/c/cypress_hill/cock_the_hammer_btab.htm It is a really simple thing: The intro repeats 4x and then theres the same repeating all over the song. Where do i need to place the notes inside a Piano-Roll and how much pitch changing do i need to apply, to get the notes correct ?
