Convert between note names, frequencies (Hz), MIDI numbers and cents in any tuning standard.

Interval between two frequencies

Formulas

  • Frequency of MIDI note n: f = A4 × 2^((n − 69) / 12)
  • MIDI note from frequency: n = 69 + 12 × log2(f / A4)
  • Interval in cents: c = 1200 × log2(f2 / f1)

Middle C is C4 (MIDI 60, 261.63 Hz at A4 = 440). For a full table see the note frequency chart and MIDI note numbers.
