I was curious about all this, so I dusted off my notes from"Physics for Poets" (don't laugh, it was a real college course) and did the math. Each note in the 12 tone scale represents an increase of .0595 (some rounding) above the previous tone. This corresponds to a surprising 7.73 bpm increase, if your original was 130 bpm. As far as the example above, if you were at F/120, and you pitched up to G, the bpm should (if I did my math correctly) resemble 134.7 Less margin for error than I previously thought, and a good reason to buy lots and lots of records. :) -- There4IM
