Any VST synth/instruments that can change 440 to 432 Hz tuning beside Pianoteq?

[AfriendofZ]

I see with Pianoteq with you can set the overall tuning frequency, as well as temperament. Default is the standard 440Hz with equal temperament. But you can even go in and change the tuning each note, and also set advanced parameters for the tuning.

Are there any synths or other instruments that let you do this natively?

Bitwig with any synth that supports MPE ?

Using Bitwigs Micropitch module

Vienna Instruments Pro supports a scala of 12 tones (a fewer-than-12 achievable duplicating so as to sum to 12, not more than) which are assignable to any of 12 tonics, it's rather easy to roll your own if you just copy the formatting from one in a text editor and save it with the extension .scl.
then 432 is just a matter of specifying it in the UI.

you can do it in say Kontakt or most anything if you're good with it being close enough for rock'n roll "A=432" by subtracting, turns out to be ~32¢ down from A 440. It has more than one microtuning preset.

You can set the tuning to 432 for these:
Korg Triton
Abbey Road One (probably many other Spifire products too)
D-50 and XV-5080 (probably many other Roland plugins)
Addictive Keys

Thank you for the suggestions. Looking into Bitwig, Kontakt, Korg and just found out u-he has a micro tuning table generator for their synths on their site.

Any synth with an osc tune knob or even just a pitch bend, (which is pretty much all of them.)

You’ll just need a tuner.

Also, Arturia V-Collection 8.1 now has micro-tuning.

Daft question, but isn't this pretty standard on all VSTs these days? I stick with 440, so I don't go rummaging around in global settings too often.

[FrogsInPants]

I don't know about standard, but there are quite a few synths with microtuning support. Here's a non-exhaustive list: https://en.xen.wiki/w/List_of_Microtona ... re_Plugins

It should be standard and an obvious no brainer feature to be included on all synths, but as I found out recently, it's not.

I was working on a track that had some pre recorded tracks that were at 450, and I found out that some of the synths I had in my collection could not be used on the project because the synths did not have a global master tune function.

So for that project, I had to eliminate some of my synths, and only use the synths I had that could be global master tuned.

As an example, Arturia Pigments which I recently bought fell into the unusable category, which was surprising to me, since it gets a lot of praise here, but unless I am totally blind, I was not able to find any global master tune function on Pigments.

People claim it's so advanced etc., yet it lacks the most basic feature that even decades old synths from the 1970's have?

What is praised here is not necessarily the best, a lot of it is just based on what is popular and has the most preset libraries.

You should get yourself Strobe 2 and Cypher 2, they have the tuning features you are looking for and much much more.

Just tried WhispAir with the TUN file and it worked great, thank you!

Lots of synths... the u-he synths for example have a global fine tuning knob... also microtuning, plus can work with the MTS system.

Tone2 Icarus has a global tuning knob also. I assume the other Tone2 synths do as well.

Etc.

[jamcat]

Micro-tuning is overkill for equal temperament tuning, regardless of frequency. You really only need it if you're using a more exotic or just tuning.

what about the manual?
p. 199, 12.1.15 keyboard tuning section

Master Tune
The default is A=440 Hz, but with this control you can adjust the master tuning of Pigments from 400-480 Hz. Hold [Ctrl] and drag the knob to adjust the tuning in 0.1 increments. Double-click to reset.
