[chuck-users] Power operator in chuck

You may have found this already: std.mtof( float ) converts MIDI
pitch (note number) to frequency in Hz.  Adjacent note numbers are a 
semitone apart (so every 12 is an octave) and the function will also
take fractional values as well.  std.ftom( float ) converts in the
other direction, from frequency to MIDI note number.

Here is a chart mapping some MIDI note numbers -> frequencies:
