Assuming that this is for a standard 12 note (semitone) equal tempered scale, you will want: 1/12 = 0.0833333... volts per semitone.
83.3333... milivolts per semitone.

Base starting points can be anywhere depending on what you're driving, you'll most likely want to use some DC offset to adjust the transposition so that your C's are on the whole number voltages, if that is what you're after.

I hope that helps...

each octave (note =C) should start with an whole 
number volatge- ie, 1 volt, 2 volt, 3 volt. 
Each note in bewteen would have a interval of .0909?

C3 = 3 volts
C#3= 3.0909 volts
D3 = 3.1818 volts

Is this correct?????
