The extension looks very good, but I would recommend adding two
important units - semitone and cent (in case anyone doesn't know, a cent
= 1/100 of a semitone). Semitones - useful for osc transpose in synths,
as well as shift amount in pitch shift modules. Cents - useful for
relative detune in synths. I think those are much more common than, say,
miles :)
