[Rakarrack-users] A at 432hz

[Renato B. <re...@gm...>]

Hello,

is the MIDI converter usable even with another tuning? I have A at
432hz, that's almost a semitone beneath standard 440hz. I need this for
a band I play in, and since I've got a floyd rose bridge it's really a
hassle shifting all the tuning up.
If this is not possible yet, would it be difficult to implement? Oh,
btw, also being able to tell the tuner A is something else than 440
would be great.

Yes, it did. Till 1800 there was no real standard; Verdi argued for
432hz -it *is* more relaxed and pleasing to many- while the church
imposed 440hz. Nowadays there are still some orchestras playing at
something else than 440, for example Berlin's Philarmoniker Orchestra -
can't remember exactly to what it's tuned though.
