If case you need to “round it off”, use as many digits behind the decimal point as possible. Players / plugins, that use cents or semitones should be set to pitched down with: -31.76665363342977 cents or -0.3176665363342977 semitones. 1.8% will set A4 to 432,080Hz, less then 0.1Hz difference, still very close. The optimal speed (rate) is set to 0.981818 (VLC) or changed with -1.818% (Foobar). If the player/plugin you use can not use more then 2 digits behind the decimal point, then use a rate of -1.82% (A4= 431.998 Hz) or -1.81% (A4= 432,036Hz), a “neglectable difference” (a difference that most people won’t be able to hear, actually). This method is the equivalent of slowing down a turntable and preferable over the pitch-change option! With the “adjust rate” option you change the speed (both pitch and tempo) so there will be no resolution loss. If you can adjust the rate, then use this option instead of pitching down. With some players ( VLC and Foobar) there is the option to adjust the rate.
These players will NOT be able to make real-time changes to the temperament! If you like to read more about the difference between “Concert Pitch” and “Tuning System” then you can find more info here. With most Western music (and instruments played) the “Twelve Tone Equal Temperament” (12-TET) is used. NOTE! – Do keep in mind that the change of Concert Pitch alone is not “432 Tuning”.Ĥ32-Tuning is Concert Pitch A4=432Hz + “Pythagorean Temperament”. The real-time auto-pitching instructions as mentioned in this blog article only work for 440Hz tuned/pitched audio files. When another Concert Pitch is used then the 440Hz standard, the music will nonetheless be pitched in the same way as if it was in 440Hz. IMPORTANT! – Keep in mind that the players mentioned in this article will not detect the Concert Pitch of the source.
