Comment on If I subtract a semitone (100 cents) from 1 Hz, what is its frequency in Hz after that?

A note, ex. A4 is 440 Hz. Moving up an octave, or 12 semitones, is doubling the Hz. You can figure out the Hz from the base note by multiplying it by 2^(x/12) where x is the number of semitones you want add.
