SPN
MIDI is the note number synths and software pass around (0–127). Pitch class is the note without its octave — all the As share one.
At other reference pitches
| Reference (A4) | A6 frequency | Where you meet it |
|---|---|---|
| 432 Hz | 1,728 Hz | the alternative-tuning circle |
| 440 Hzstandard | 1,760 Hz | the ISO 16 standard — concert pitch |
| 442 Hz | 1,768 Hz | many European orchestras tune a touch sharp |
| 443 Hz | 1,772 Hz | some sharper continental orchestras |
Every row is A6 — only the A4 you tune to changes. A frequency scales straight with the reference: A6 at 432 Hz is the 440 Hz value times 432⁄440.
