In terms of frequencies expressed in hertz, assuming a base frequency for middle C of 262 Hz, this would be {... 65.5, 131, 262, 524, 1028 ...}. In terms of midi note numbers, we can write it as {... 36, 48, 60, 72, 84 ...}. | In terms of frequencies expressed in hertz, assuming a base frequency for middle C of 262 Hz, this would be {... 65.5, 131, 262, 524, 1028 ...}.
