Now you will see an option Copy Value to Siblings (#). Then Right Click, or 2 finger click, the Detune Parameter, or any parameter will work but in this case the Detune. To do this you should first edit the Detune to -32. One tip that can save you a lot of time is Copy to Siblings. Just change the Detune on each of those instruments. If you are using Drum Racks you will have a bunch of Samplers or Simplers in a Drum Rack. That is a list of all the Instruments in Ableton Live. To lower the pitch you must lower the Course Knob first and then raise the Fine Tune Parameter to bring it back up just below the original octave. The fine knob for the oscillators only raises the pitch, but does not go into the negatives. Operator: Operator is a little different from the others. Here change the Detune Parameter to -0.32 Tension : For Tension look in the Keyboard Section. Simpler : For sampler look for the Detune Parameter. Sampler : For sampler look for the Detune Parameter. If you are using 2 Oscillator’s remember to change both of them.Įlectric: For Electric look in the Global Section. Here change the Fine Tune to -32ctĪnalog : For analog change the Detune Setting to -0.32 for the Oscillator.

Now let’s look at a list of synths/samplers that can be retuned to 432.Ĭollision: For collision look under the Resonator Parameter. If we detune a synth or sample though in Live by -32cents then we are in fact detuning the root note to 432 and it will take the ratio from there to form the rest of the scales/octaves. You must tune the instruments correctly to start with. Because of this, you can not return the finished song. A ratio of “2 11/12” from 440 is very different than a ratio of “2 11/12” at 432. The reason why is equal temperament is a ratio that moved up from the root of A. If you -8hz to that we do not get 484.90. You can also see that just 2 notes down 440hz Equal Temperament are 494. As you can see when you move from 440 to 432 you are lowering the pitch by -8hz. This image shows the different tuning you could use for notes found in the Equal Temperament. You can not just lower the pitch at the end because that will not retune it, it will just lower the overall pitch. since A=432 Live will then base every note from that point forward. By detuning you lower the first note, from 440-432 for example. The simplest way to tune to 432hz is to just detune each of your instruments. Once you get a library of instruments tuned, then it will also be that much easier. This might seem overwhelming idea at first, but it actually takes very little time at the beginning of your tracks. To play music in 432 you must retune all your synths and presets.
