F2MC

converts a frequency to a MIDI.Cent note number

Description

converts a frequency to a MIDI.Cent note number

Syntax

imidicent F2MC ifreq

Initialization

ifreq - input frequency
imidicent - midi note number and cent deviation as fractional part

Code

  opcode F2MC, i, i
ifq xin
in1 = 12 * (log(ifq/220)/log(2)) + 57 ;'real' conversion 
in2 = floor(in1) ;next lower midi note
icent = (in1 - in2) * 100 ;cent difference
xout in2 + icent/100
  endop

Examples

  opcode F2M, i, i
;converts a frequency to the next possible MIDI note number
ifq xin
inotenum = round(12 * (log(ifq/220)/log(2)) + 57)
xout inotenum
  endop

  opcode F2MC, i, i
;converts a frequency to a MIDI.Cent note number
ifq xin
in1 = 12 * (log(ifq/220)/log(2)) + 57 ;'real' conversion 
in2 = floor(in1) ;next lower midi note
icent = (in1 - in2) * 100 ;cent difference
xout in2 + icent/100
  endop
