bar chart with a symmetrical log scale, with difference in hertz as the y axis and midi note as the x axis. the chart starts out with a big bump under zero, and then starts going up and down, with small amplitude at first, but then very large amplitude by the end

   however! here's a chart showing the difference in frequency between each midi note and the frequency of the tone *nearest* to that midi note that it's possible for the game boy to generate. you can see that there's actually a fairly small range of midi notes that can be approximated by the game boy without sounding "out of tune" (depending on what you consider to be out of tune. no one except whiplash guy is going to notice 2–3Hz, but 100Hz is obviously going to not sound right)
