If f is a frequency in Hertz (Hz), then the corresponding MIDI note number N MIDI is given by the formula = + ( ) = + ( ) , where "log" in the second expression is any logarithm (e.g. either the common logarithm log 10 , the natural logarithm ln ≡ log e , or any other).
For use with the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) standard, a frequency mapping is defined by: = + , where is the MIDI note number. 69 is the number of semitones between C −1 (MIDI note 0) and A 4.
MIDI beat clock, or simply MIDI clock, is a clock signal that is broadcast via MIDI to ensure that several MIDI-enabled devices such as a synthesizer or music sequencer stay in synchronization. Clock events are sent at a rate of 24 pulses per quarter note .
General MIDI (also known as GM or GM 1) is a standardized specification for electronic musical instruments that respond to MIDI messages. GM was developed by the American MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA) and the Japan MIDI Standards Committee (JMSC) and first published in 1991. The official specification is available in English from the MMA ...
Piano key frequencies. This is a list of the fundamental frequencies in hertz (cycles per second) of the keys of a modern 88-key standard or 108-key extended piano in twelve-tone equal temperament, with the 49th key, the fifth A (called A 4), tuned to 440 Hz (referred to as A440). [1][2] Every octave is made of twelve steps called semitones.
An example of lookup table, where the data at addresses from 63 to 67 are zoomed. (based on Figure 2.1 on Nelson 2000) On Csound, it is called f-table (function table), and used for various purposes including: wavetable-lookup synthesis, waveshaping, MIDI note mapping, and storing ordered pitch-class sets.

The break frequency (e.g. 700 Hz, 1000 Hz, or 625 Hz) is the only free parameter in the usual form of the formula. Some non-mel auditory-frequency-scale formulas use the same form but with much lower break frequency, not necessarily mapping to 1000 at 1000 Hz; for example the ERB-rate scale of Glasberg and Moore (1990) uses a break point of 228 ...
Musical sound can be more complicated than human vocal sound, occupying a wider band of frequency. Music signals are time-varying signals; while the classic Fourier transform is not sufficient to analyze them, time–frequency analysis is an efficient tool for such use. Time–frequency analysis is extended from the classic Fourier approach.
