Partch-inspired instruments

Pardon me if this is too graphic...
I've heard of a Partch inspired instrument which suspends resonant
foreskins: Spoils of Moyles:)

> log(p/q)/log(2)*1200

Presumably this goes without saying, but just to make sure: the base of
those two logarithms must be the same. That is to say that if you use the
"LOG" key on your calculator to do the first one, be sure to use that same
key for the second. Or equivalently you can use the "LN" key for both.

Also, to make sure that nobody reads it wrong, that's:

{log(p/q)/log(2)}*1200, NOT log(p/q)/{log(2)*1200}

which is why I personally prefer to write it 1200*log(p/q)/log(2), not that
it matters mathematically.
