APPENDIX C: Table of Note Frequencies


Use this to calculate sampling rates for mistuned instruments. For example, if you have an instrument at 8363Hz that plays an A-2 but you want it to play a C-2, the appropriate sampling rate is 8363 * 261.7 / 440 Hz = 4974 Hz
All values are given in Hz.

(supplied by Chris Craig, author of GoldWave)
C  - 261.7    E  - 329.6    G# - 415.3
C# - 277.2    F  - 349.2    A  - 440.0
D  - 293.7    F# - 370.0    A# - 466.2
D# - 311.1    G  - 392.0    B  - 493.9
Bear in mind that doubling the sampling rate raises a sound by one octave, halving the rate lowers the note by one octave.
