Notation
SPN
MIDI is the note number synths and software pass around (0–127). Pitch class is the note without its octave — all the A♯s share one. Enharmonic spellings (A♯3 and B♭3) name the same pitch two ways.

Every row is A♯3 — only the A4 you tune to changes. A frequency scales straight with the reference: A♯3 at 432 Hz is the 440 Hz value times 432⁄440.
