NAME

cpsmidi - convert midi note # to frequency (Hz)


SYNOPSIS

freq = cpsmidi(midinote)


DESCRIPTION

cpsmidi returns a corresponding frequency value (Hz) for a given midi note number. cpsmidi will not do fractional midi note values. Any fractional midi note number will be truncated prior to conversion (i.e. 62.78 -> 62).

NOTE: With the exception of boost, The RTcmix conversion functions follow a pattern. The command isdivided into two halves, the one closest to the argument represent the format of the argument, and the one closest to the assignment represents the format to be returned. For example, "cpspch" is divided into "cps" and "pch". The argument is in oct.pc form ("pch") and the return value will be in cps ("cps").

The various format specifiers are:

   amp = absolute amplitude (16-bit, 0-32768)
   cps = cycles per second (Hz)
   db = decibels
   midi = midi note # (60 is middle C)
   oct = linear octaves (8.5 is halfway between octave 8.00 [middle C] and 9.00)
   pch = octave.pitch-class (oct.pc; 8.00 is middle C, 8.02 is D, 8.12 = 9.00 = C above middle C)
   let = note-letter specification ("C4" is middle C, "C#4" is C-sharp above middle C,
      "Gb5" is G-flat the octave above middle C octave. [see pitch-reps for more info])


ARGUMENTS
midinote
Any postive number, floating point or integer, representing a midi note number


EXAMPLES
   freq = cpsmidi(72)
   freq = cpsmidi(60.0)
