The frequency data format allows for the precise notation of frequencies that differ from equal temperament. "Frequency data shall be defined in [units] which are fractions of a semitone. The frequency range starts at MIDI note 0, C = 8.1758 Hz, and extends above MIDI note 127, G = 12543.854 Hz.
A jump from the lowest semitone to the highest semitone in one octave doubles the frequency (for example, the fifth A is 440 Hz and the sixth A is 880 Hz). The frequency of a pitch is derived by multiplying (ascending) or dividing (descending) the frequency of the previous pitch by the twelfth root of two (approximately 1.059463).
Pulses per quarter note (PPQN), also known as pulses per quarter (PPQ), and ticks per quarter note (TPQN), is the smallest unit of time used for sequencing note and automation events. [ 1 ] The number of pulses per quarter note is sometimes referred to as the resolution of a MIDI device, and affects the timing of notes that can be achieved by a ...
It is also easily modifiable, in case one would like to play for example an A 435 tuning, or if one would prefer to assign A440 to note 69, as in MIDI. −Woodstone 06:34, 31 July 2012 (UTC) Yes, the formula is not just there for plugging into a calculator or spreadsheet; it shows the mathematical basis for the series of frequencies.
Analog synthesizers that have no digital component and were built prior to MIDI's development can be retrofitted with kits that convert MIDI messages into analog control voltages. [14]: 277 When a note is played on a MIDI instrument, it generates a digital MIDI message that can be used to trigger a note on another instrument.
Shortly after the MIDI standard came out Roland introduced the Roland MPU-101, a MIDI to CV/gate converter that takes an input from four MIDI channels; i.e. a variable base MIDI channel plus the next three consecutive MIDI channels and converted up to four MIDI channels into four separate CV/gate outputs able to control four separate CV/gate ...

FluidSynth, formerly named iiwusynth, is a free open source software synthesizer which converts MIDI note data into an audio signal using SoundFont technology without need for a SoundFont-compatible soundcard. FluidSynth can act as a virtual MIDI device, able to receive MIDI data from any program and transform it into audio on-the-fly.
