    I'm sorry. Your screenshot actually saved me and answered my last question.

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    Why does your friend want to record everything in A432? A440 is and has practically been the standard since the 1830s. It will only make things more frustrating for no good reason. The only good reason to use a different pitch standard than A440 (that I know of) is if you are recording a classical piece and want to be as period correct as possible.

    Any way, many tuners have a way to calibrate reference pitch. If you don't already have a tuner that you can calibrate the reference pitch on, you could try GVST GTune or Melda MTuner. They are both free plugins. Otherwise there are many great commercial tuners like IrcamLab The Snail (by far the best out there), Blue Cat's Hot Tuna and Submission Audio LockOn.

    Color me impressed if Blue Cat named their plugin after a boat on a reality tv / fishing show.

    Here is a short excerpt from a long article about 432 Hz!

    Listening to 432 Hz Listeners

    The three categories of argument in favor of 432 Hz music outlined above dominate online debates about its merits. But for those engaged in habitual listening to 432 Hz music, at least as persuasive as any historical or scientific evidence are their personal physical and psychological experiences as listeners (and, for some, as musicians).

    It bears repeating here that music that has been converted to 432 Hz from its original tuning is not dramatically altered in terms of its formal musical elements or style. This distinguishes 432 Hz music from other internet-based music genres that are stylistically defined by pitch-shifting or time-stretching, such as forms of electronic dance music, nightcore, vaporwave, or “chopped and screwed” remixes of pop songs.

    In fact, the adjustment to pitch and/or speed of a converted track is so subtle that YouTube comment sections for songs labeled 432 Hz routinely contain user disputes over whether the track is actually converted or is “still in 440 Hz.”

    i reprint all my midis with Tobybear MicroTuner, say what you will about unconventional, idk if it's the detuning itself, but i do hear a different vibe when using 432

    If he has a violinist or maybe a fluteist to record , then it does matter.

    The thing is, before posting about Falcon I actually checked Kontakt, cause I remembered somewhere in the back of my mind NI had something like that, but I couldn’t remember what it was about the master section.:rofl:
