calculator note names


The English and American scientific system versus the German system
Scientific Pitch Notation (SPN)
The standard tuning pitch is A4 (A above middle C) − in German-speaking countries it is called a’.
The notes have different names. The German system is used also in many other countries, as there
are e.g. Poland, Czech Republic, and Russia. The frequencies of the 88-key piano keyboard are:

In the twelve-semitone scale the frequency of the next semitone (halftone) is higher or

A sound engineer should know the following: The AC hum of 50 Hz in Europe is close to
the pitch of G1 = 48.99 Hz (49 Hz). The AC hum of 60 Hz in the U.S. is a minor third higher
close to the pitch of A#1/Bb1 = 58.27 Hz (58 Hz).
So you can find out logically, whether a sound recording was made in Europe or in the U.S.

A pure tone with the frequency f = 440 Hz has the amplitude function:
A = sin (880 π t) - where t is given in seconds.

The following equation will give the frequency f of the
nth piano key number, as shown in the table:
f(n) = 440\ (\sqrt[12]{2}\,)^{n-49}\,
Alternatively, this can be written as:
f(n) = 440 \times 2^{\frac{n-49}{12}}\,

The concert pitch A4 (a') lies in the octave between C4 (c') and C5 (c'').
Some manufacturers label the 440 Hz concert pitch not correct as A3. It is A4.

MIDI note numbers (midi files)
Octave notation is given here in the international standard ISO system, formerly known as the ASA (Acoustical Society of America) or ANSI system. In this system, middle C (MIDI note number 60) is C4; octaves start with C, so the B just below (MIDI number 59) is B3.
The lowest note of the normal modern piano is A0 (MIDI 21), though Boesendorfer Imperials go down to F0 or even C0. The highest note of the piano is C8 (MIDI 108).

Note: The MIDI specification only defines note number 60 as "Middle C", and all other notes are relative. The absolute octave number designations shown here are based on Middle C = C4, which is an arbitrary assignment.

Method for finding the corresponding MIDI note number for a given frequency: Original expression f = 440 × 2(n − 69) / 12
Simplification step 1: f / 440 = 2(n − 69) / 12
Simplification step 2: log2 (f / 440) = (n − 69) / 12
Simplification step 3: 12 × log2 (f / 440) = n – 69
 
Formula for finding a MIDI note number given the frequency in Hz of the MIDI note: n = (12 × log2 (f / 440)) + 69
Given the frequency f for a note in Hz, it is possible to find the corresponding MIDI note number represented by the variable n.
 
One version of the MIDI system uses C3 to designate Middle C (MIDI note 60 = 261.626 Hz).
That means that the octave designation for MIDI note "0" would be "-2" or notated as C-2.
Another version of the MIDI system uses the lowest note available to the MIDI system.
MIDI note 1 = 8.176 Hz to designate Octave "0" with the notation of C0. In this system, Middle C.
MIDI note 60 = 261.626 Hz is octave 5 with the notation of C5.

MIDI 60 is C4, and not C5.

The frequency of 440 Hz is the concert pitch note A4.
If someone tells you different, this person is in error.
 
Since 1939 in many countries the valid standard pitch is set at A4 = 440 Hz. In German and Austrian symphony orchestras, however, a tuning for A4 = 443 Hz is common.
In Switzerland it is A4 = 442 Hz. Herbert von Karajan tuned his Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra at A4 = 444 Hz.
That is however, not the standard pitch.
