I don't know what key, note number 0 is or what the first key on your keyboard is but this formula should work with a bit of experimentation

((nn+x)*12/7)truncated-x

You have to replace x with a number from 0 to 11 to make the inteferance patern of the formular match the shape of the black and white notes of a keyboard. If you try all twelve values for x, then one (and only one) should work for all notes.

I'm not sure if it's this way round that you want to convert ?

Hope it helps

Pete.

Hi Pete,

thanks for the formula.
Some questions for clarification:
1. 'nn' is the hot parameter for the pressed key on my kbd here, right?
So if I replace that with !Pitch the formula still works?
2. What is the function of 'x' then, a kind of offset?
3. If I enter this formula, with !Pitch for nn, in the frequency field
of an MidiOutputEvent, it should work?

Best,
