[PD] Note name to frequency

[Derek Holzer]

There are some music analysis objects in Maxlib. Open the maxlib-help.pd 
file that comes with it for an overview of the music analysis objects. 
Maybe best if you install PD Extended if you're new to this.

I think most of the Maxlib objects go the other way around from what you 
describe... they analyze MIDI data and give chord names, etc. But have a 
look anyways.
