This shows the P2F primitive fed zero produces a different F result than the M2P and it appears considerably greater than single float rounding error. The relative error diminishes with larger pitch values so it's >1/1000th by MIDI ID 10 and less than a millionth for most of the scale but it's 1 and 2 per cent in the low range. Given this range is essentially sub-sonic I'm not sure that it matters but I thought I'd post this anyway.

Ive always found the actual power2 sound better than the multyply by self hack, to the point it was banned forever for incapability with properly scaled synths. So i guess it`s a double form of buggyness. Although it`s kind of presumptious to say these are calculated this way.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
