MIDI ↔ Frequency Converter
Convert MIDI note numbers to frequency (Hz), or frequency to MIDI, with adjustable A4 tuning. Pitch labels are shown to the nearest eighth-tone (25¢).
A4 Tuning A4 = 440 Hz
Select a preset, or choose Custom to type an A4 value.
Enabled only when “Custom…” is selected.
MIDI → Frequency
Formula: f = A4 × 2^((n − 69)/12)
Enter a MIDI number and click Convert.
Frequency → MIDI
Formula: n = 69 + 12 × log2(f/A4)
Enter a frequency and click Convert.
Sum & Difference Tones (two MIDI pitches)
Computes combination tones using frequency math: f+ = f1 + f2, f− = |f1 − f2|. (Then converts back to MIDI/pitch label.)
Enter two MIDI pitches and click Calculate.
Harmonic Series (from a MIDI fundamental)
Fundamental is converted to Hz using the current A4 tuning.
Capped for safety (max: 256).
Displays partial number, ratio, frequency, MIDI (raw), and pitch label (nearest 25¢).
Enter a fundamental and number of partials, then click Generate.
