keychange: cents and semitones

[jahern]

Some on-the-fly software changes keys but using cents not semitones. Is it 100 cents per octave or how is the conversion?

It's 1200 cents to an octave.

Here's some info on it.

Thanks. That's simpler than I thought!

There are other plugins that work (or don't work) on a percentage. I wanted to calibrate one of these so I worked out a little spreadsheet and it seemed to work but only if I added another semitone. Are my calculations screwy or is the plug-in screwy?
