How do I go about tuning the Virus TI exactly -64 cents
-4 cents flat?
Tuning the Virus TI

In the Virus, tuning is independent to each part. Use the Multi menu in stand alone mode, or the common tab in VC.

Im trying to tune my TI to the RA Frequency
The "A" note in RA music has a frequency centered on "A"=424 cycles per second. How would I tune my TI exactly like that? -
I'll go over the whole calculation in case someone wants to know:
440/424 = 1.0377358490566037735849056603774 which means that the A sound wave cycle is that much slower at RA. In equal temperament tuning, each halftone cycles 2^(1/12) = 1.0594630943592952645618252949463 (that's the twelfth root of 2) slower or faster than its neighbors. So to translate the A440:RA proportion to cents we need to divide them and multiply by 100: [440/424] / [2^(1/12)] x 100 = 97.949221127345551538311742673044, therefore reducing the tuning by 98 cents (-98 ) should get you comfortably between 424Hz and 423.5Hz which is what you are aiming for. Since this is almost a full halftone you could just transpose your music to a key that is a halftone down, but maybe those 2 cents matter (just my 2 cents, if you don't mind the pun).
Just curious, do you need this for baroque or new age music, or maybe you've found a new use for it? -
Thanks but how do I tune the TI -98 cents down? I went to the global tuning and with master tuning I can only go -64 or +64. Am I not understanding something correctly? How do I go about doing this?
Oh and Im doing this for an experimental project though im not sure how its going to fully turn out. I guess you can say its new age because we are trying to correspond everything with the human chakras.

Can you do -1semitone +2 cents?
-
Ok sorry flabberbob. So are you saying all i have to do is transpose the keyboard down a semitone?
-
Just as Ruari said, use the multi menu or the VC's common tab to set all the parts 1 semitone down and two cents up.

Just as Ruari said, use the multi menu or the VC's common tab to set all the parts 1 semitone down and two cents up.Hi guys,
I wondered if there is a way to tune all sounds -1 semitone in the virus ti snow, so that all produced sounds are effected. Is there kind of a global settings available in the Virus TI Snow, should be dont you think?
I know that one can detuned each Part 1-4 or detune a whole Multi sound or one can also detune sounds in the single mode. But I couldnt manage to find the *global tuning settings* so far.... Please help.
Cheers Chris

It would make life much easier if the virus just had cents on the oscillators, like 99% of other synths.

Well, I recently found out that the Virus does have a global tuning setting under the "config" menu (can't really help you with "where it is in the snow" but I hope it helps). It can be set from -64 to 63 semitones.
Regarding oscillator tuning you can fine tune the oscillators on insane levels by routing constant, constant 10% and constant 1% to oscillator pitch in the modulation matrix.
