Notation
SPN
MIDI is the note number synths and software pass around (0–127). Pitch class is the note without its octave — all the D♯s share one. Enharmonic spellings (D♯1 and E♭1) name the same pitch two ways.

| Reference (A4) | D♯1 frequency | Where you meet it |
|---|---|---|
| 432 Hz | 38.184 Hz | the alternative-tuning circle |
| 440 Hzstandard | 38.891 Hz | the ISO 16 standard — concert pitch |
| 442 Hz | 39.068 Hz | many European orchestras tune a touch sharp |
| 443 Hz | 39.156 Hz | some sharper continental orchestras |
Every row is D♯1 — only the A4 you tune to changes. A frequency scales straight with the reference: D♯1 at 432 Hz is the 440 Hz value times 432⁄440.
