## mtof

mtof — Convert a midi to frequency

## Description

Plugin opcode in emugens.

Convert a midi note number value to cycles per second, taking global value of A4 into account.

## Syntax

    ifreq mtof imidi

    kfreq mtof kmidi

    ifreqs[] mtof imidis[]

    kfreqs[] mtof kmidis[]

## Performance

kmidi / imidi -- Midi note number (also as array)

kfreq / ifreq -- Frequency corresponding to midi note value. An array is returned if the input is an array

## Examples

Here is an example of the mtof opcode. It uses the file mtof-ftom.csd.
