Musical Interval Converter

Convert any musical interval between three universal units — semitones, cents, and frequency ratios — and instantly see the matching interval name (minor 3rd, tritone, perfect 5th, octave, and beyond). The tool is built for music theory students, instrument builders, audio engineers, and electronic-music producers who work with pitch in precise units rather than note names alone.

Every conversion is performed client-side with the standard logarithmic formulas: cents = 1200 × log₂(ratio) dan ratio = 2^{semitones / 12}. A built-in detune calculator multiplies any base frequency by a cents offset so you can find the resulting pitch of a sample slowed, sped up, or pitch-shifted by an arbitrary amount.

Cara Penggunaan

Type a value into Semitones, Cents, atau Frequency Ratio — the other two fields and the interval name update instantly.
Click one of the Pilih Cepat chips (P5, M3, Octave…) to load a common interval with one click.
Read the Equal Temperament vs Just Intonation table to see how the equal-tempered interval differs from the pure integer-ratio version in cents.
To find the result of a pitch shift, enter a base frequency (e.g. 440 Hz) and a cent offset (positive = up, negative = down) under Detune Calculator.
Atur Presisi Desimal if you need more or fewer digits.

 Tanya Jawab Umum

What is the difference between cents and semitones?

A semitone is the smallest interval used in Western music's 12-tone equal temperament system, equivalent to 100 cents. Cents provide a finer-grained logarithmic unit: 1200 cents span exactly one octave, so a cent is 1/1200 of an octave. Cents are essential when describing micro-tonal pitches, instrument detuning, or comparing tuning systems where pitches do not land on integer semitones.
How does equal temperament differ from just intonation?

Equal temperament divides the octave into 12 mathematically identical semitones (each ratio = 2^(1/12) ≈ 1.0595), so every key sounds equally in-tune. Just intonation uses small integer ratios (3/2, 5/4, 6/5…) so individual intervals sound purer because their frequencies share harmonic overtones, but transposing to a distant key introduces noticeable beating. Equal temperament is the compromise that lets a single tuning serve every key.
What is a frequency ratio in music theory?

A frequency ratio expresses how two pitches relate in their fundamental frequencies. An octave is 2:1 — the higher note vibrates twice as fast as the lower. A perfect fifth is 3:2, a perfect fourth is 4:3, and a major third in just intonation is 5:4. Ratios with small integers tend to sound consonant because their overtones align, which is why ancient musical systems were built around them.
Why are intervals counted in twelfths of an octave?

The 12-tone division of the octave emerged because it produces close approximations of the most consonant just-intonation ratios (perfect fifth, fourth, major third) using a single repeating step size. Twelve semitones per octave is small enough to remember and notate, yet large enough that the equal-tempered fifth deviates from the pure 3:2 ratio by only about two cents — an error most listeners cannot detect.
