Title: pitch tuning
Post by: LEON on 2012-07-05 11:33 pm
Hi everybody!
I wonder if there is a workaround for changing the A-440 based default pitch of the program.
This could be useful when using the program as a playback minus one. Orchestras over here (Israel) are usually tuned on A-442 for example.
All the best

NoteWorthy doesn't assume any default pitch.

If you are using an external synth, there should be instructions in the synth's documentation about how to change the default tuning.

Internal (software) synths may be changeable via a SysEx message. NoteWorthy will not send a SysEx message, but other software can. Hopefully, the tuning change will persist.

NoteWorthy can send pitch bends. If sent on each MIDI channel used, this will effectively "retune" the synth.

Hi Rick, thanks for your answer.

I have tried it, but did not succeed. Could you please lead me step by step?
Thaks in advance

sent it again by mistake, how do you erase a message anyway?

On my WinXP synth, the following produces the frequencies indicated in the lyrics. YMMV

Hi Rick, I appreciate,
I downloaded your example. If I uderstood you right the first not should be A 442.5 and the second A 446 or so. Well I played it on my pc and they sound exactly the same: A 440. Am I missing something? Probably I am... Sorry I am quite crude with midi things, I use the program mainly to get music printed.

I can find the modify button, but where is the delete button?

Thanks again

I can't hear any difference either, but the 2nd note is 2 Hz higher than the first. I verified it with a frequency meter.
