AFINACION DE PROYECTO

[Javier Herrera]

HOLA, NECECITO CREAR UN PROYECTO EN EL CUAL LA AFINACION DE LOS INSTRUMENTOS VIRTUALES SEA 432HZ, ¿SERA ESTO POSIBLE?

SALUDOS Y MUCHAS GRACIAS.

HELLO, I NEED TO CREATE A PROJECT IN WHICH THE TUNING OF THE VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS IS 432HZ, WILL THIS BE POSSIBLE? GREETINGS AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.  [Translation from Google Translate]

Note: I can't answer this since I never retune all virtual instruments.  Maybe someone else can explain how to do it.

Hola,

Creo que tendría que configurar cada instrumento a 432 Hxz, uno por uno. No conozco una forma de alterar esto para todos los instrumentos simultáneamente.

One solution could be to do everything in 440Hz, then slow down the 2 track master in an audio editor (e.g. Audacity) so that it's effectively playing at 432Hz.

I think you would have to set each instrument to 432 Hxz, one by one. I don't know of a way to alter this for all instruments simultaneously. [translated by Google Translate]

I  haven't tried this, but if the virtual instruments have coarse/fine tune parameters available as CCs and/or automation, couldn't a tuning meter be used to change the tuning on each instrument? In other words, play A on a keyboard and retune each soft synth so A = 432.  

If there are no master coarse/fine tune parameters, each layer of the virtual instruments might need to be retuned.

Also, maybe scala files for has retuned files.  I'm not sure since I haven't done anything with scala files in a long time. If there are scala files for A = 432, and if the virtual instruments allow for the use of scala files, that might be an option. 

I just Googled "432 Hz scala files" and it seems there are some Pythagorean tunings that use A = 432.  I have not tried any of the ones I found.  Here's one:

 3/2 E
 128/81 F
 27/16 F#
 16/9 G
 243/128 G#
 2/1
 

Another option, if you are not using pitch bend for the music itself, might be to set the tuning on the virtual instruments to A = 432 using pitch bend.

Again, I have not done this to synchronize several virtual instruments, but I have used PB globally to add layers to digitized audio tapes where the tape speed was not "in tune."
