I can give you a few hints, but this is off-topic so mail me for more...

middle A is 440 hertz (the _Frequency arg).
the octave above: 880 hz.
and below: 220 hz.

So for the next octave, you double the frequency. Since there are 12
semi-tones in our chromatic scale, you are looking for a number you can
multiply 12 times itself and get 2, or this: x ^ 12 = 2, or 2 ^ (1/12) =  x,
or x =	1.059463094359.

a,  a#,  b,  c 440 * 1.06 * 1.06 * 1.06 =  523,2511306008 (for the first c
after the middle a).

This make any sense?
