Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
frequency HzMain input. Positive values. 445
reference A4 HzOption. Positive values. 440

Calculation method

nearest_midi = round(69+12*log2(frequency_Hz/reference_A4_Hz)); cents_offset = 100*(69+12*log2(frequency_Hz/reference_A4_Hz)-round(69+12*log2(frequency_Hz/reference_A4_Hz))) (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Choose the right tool

Choose timing tools for tempo and samples, tuning tools for frequency ratios, and level tools for amplitude or power. Coherent signal addition differs from independent-source addition; acoustic room estimates assume simplified conditions.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Ideal mathematical audio model with supplied values. Real speakers, rooms, hearing exposure and converter performance are not measured.
  • Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
