Pronunciation: /ˈɒktəveɪt/, /ˈɒkteɪveɪt/ 1. To sound one octave higher or lower. Labels: intransitive Example: The string, originally divided, will continue for some time to “octavate”. Example: Adolphe Sax, when he invented the saxophone, had at first only in mind the object of improving the clarinet by permitting it to ‘octavate.’ 2. To sound one octave higher or lower. Labels: intransitive Example: Ability to ornament, octavate, play chords and do some improvising. Example: He varies and octavates, leaving Bach listeners thunderstruck. 3.

Word: octavating Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From octavate + -ing. 1. Transposed by an octave. Labels: not-comparable Example: The idea underlying this section is ‘the exploitation of non-octavating pitch-sieves (scales) and their cyclic transpositions.’ Example: The tenor, originally written in standard G clef, is here written in octavating G clef, showing that it is to be read an octave lower than it is notated.
Word: octavation Part of Speech: noun Etymology: First attested in 1922; probably formed as octav(e) + -ation, but compare octavate. Pronunciation: /ˈɒktəveɪʃən/, /ˈɒkteɪveɪʃən/ 1. Transposition by an octave. Example: OCTAVATION (also called Pitch Control) — Changing the rate of tape speed over the playback head of a tape recorder changes the pitch of the signal being played back. If the speed is doubled, the signal will increase in pitch one octave. Example: A French rondeau from the Roman de la Rose (12th century) first establishes the triad, then turns to the seventh, but leaves it immediately to catch the octave, only to return in haste to the safer, wonted seventh. A similar example of uncertain octavation will be described in the following section on the Fate of Quartal and Quintal Patterns. 2. Normalization of a numerical ratio by repeated multiplication or division by 2. Labels: rare Example: It may be said that the sex question is both brain stem and pelvic stem in its fourfold octavation with its stabilizing governor, the pituitary body.

Example: Energy is apparently transmuted by a series of octavations and that these octavations differentiate matter. 3. The relationship between two planets that are distant from each other by one eighth of a great circle (45.625 degrees) Labels: rare Example: This octavation will be qualified (and perhaps rendered nil) if on a day when Uranus is well aspected its octave Mercury should be adversely aspected, or vice versa. 4. Conversion (of the expression of a number) from denary to octal notation. Example: The inverse operation, which is termed “decimation,” together with an adequate treatment for the octavation of decimal fractions will be mentioned here without consideration of the details. Example: The author […] supplied elaborate rules for the use of the octave system and for the reducing of numbers from the decade to the octave system, and the reverse — processes which he called octavation and decimation, respectively.
