Why is the signal pitch a different

Elllooo!

Signals return and the Bank Pitch input expects Gain/relative values.
2 = Doubled pitch factor (one octave up),
0.5 = Halved the pitch factor (one octave down).

Bank Settings are in Semitones.
12 Semitones = One octvave higher (= pitch Factor 2),
-12 Semitones = One octvate lower (= pitch Factor 0.5).

The Signal Editor features conversion nodes to convert Gain to Semitones and vice versa. 🙂

So like this?

Wait thats the wrong one, its St2Gain to use a signal with e.g -6

And it works, thanks

Sure thing!

And it boils down to preference, I guess.
Directly outputting a value of 0.5 is the same as taking -12 semitones and converting it to gain.
As "audio guys", especially with a music background, many of us prefer to work with semitones though 😁

Well I was testing the pitch in the bank node and wanted to use that value in a script but was confused

If I see a variable and expose that to get an input, kinda expect that to be the same type ^^
