- The chromatic scale (in equal temperment) from C4 to C5 is following:
-
- C_4 261.6 (middle C) (+ = sharp, - = flat, _ = natural)
- C+4 277.1
- D_4 293.6
- E-4 311.1
- E_4 329.6
- F_4 349.2
- F+4 369.9
- G_4 391.9
- G+4 415.3
- A_4 440.0
- B-4 466.1
- B_4 493.8
- C_5 523.2
-
- To retrieve the scale at a pitch level one octave higher, multiply these
- frequencies by two, again for the next octave, and so forth.
- Correspondingly, to lower the pitch by an octave, divide by two, etc.
- per octave.
