Share

Summary

A tutorial on how to tune synthesizers and samples to 432Hz in Ableton Live for a more harmonic sound, including methods using Max for Live devices and manual fine-tuning.

Highlights

Introduction to 432Hz Tuning00:00:00

Explanation of why producers choose 432Hz over the standard 440Hz tuning and the benefits of building tracks at this frequency from the start rather than just detuning the final master.

Using Tuners and Transposition00:00:53

Demonstration of using a tuner app to measure pitch and how to adjust a standard synthesizer by transposing notes to approach 432Hz.

Max for Live Solution00:02:10

Introduction to a custom Max for Live device that automatically detunes incoming MIDI signals to 432Hz, making it an efficient workflow for all synth instances.

Fine-Tuning Samples and Synths00:03:01

Guidance on using manual fine-tuning or detune parameters within samplers and synthesizers to achieve precise 432Hz alignment for both instruments and drum samples.

Conclusion and Future Resources00:04:53
