I do not use DynamicModule, but like to put all the functions used by 
Manipulate in its Initialization section.

Here is my version of your code. May be you need to work on the formating 
part little more, but this seems to work.

Manipulate[process[m], {m, 0, 127, 1}, Initialization :>
   {process[m_] := Module[{f, s, sd, pt, p, o},
      f = N[(440/64)*2^((m + 3)/12)]; sd = {"C", "C#", "D", "D#", "E",
         "F", "F#", "G", "G#", "A", "A#", "B"}; s = m - 60;
       pt = Mod[m, 12]; p = sd[[pt + 1]]; o = Integer[m/12] - 1;
       Text[StringJoin["MIDI Note Number (0-127) ", ToString[m],
         ", equals ", ToString[f],
         ", Hertz (8-12600), and its SoundNote number (-60 to 67) is ",
         ToString[s], ", which has the Pitch name of (C to B) ",
         ToString[p], " in Octave (-1 to 9) ", ToString[o], "."]]]}]
