Hello, I’m trying to migrate a project using FMOD Ex to FMOD Studio but I have some problems with the Event::setPitch() method. What is the equivalent FMOD\_EVENT\_PITCHUNITS setting in FMOD Studio? How can I convert the parameter using FMOD\_EVENT\_PITCHUNITS\_OCTAVES to FMOD Studio? EventInstance::setPitch() takes only 1 parameter (linear pitch). Thank you ---

The `setPitch()` linear pitch value is based on `1.0` being the base. `100.0` is 100x the pitch. You can use something like [http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-centsratio.htm](http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-centsratio.htm) to get semitones or other such values. `0.5` would be down one octave, `2.0` would be up one octave, `4.0` would be up two octaves, etc Linear is calculated as 2 to the power of semitones difference / 12 … ie -12 semitones = 2 ^ -1 = 0.5 2 ^ (24/12) = 4x multiplier
