How to change Magic Music Maker from standard A=440hz to natural tuning of A=432hz?

Have searched for how to configure Magic Music Maker MX Premium Download (latest version 18.0.4.1) so that its default is no longer the standard concert pitch of A=440hz but the Pythagorean Natural Tuning scale of A=432hz instead - without success. I am a newbie with the software so I could be missing it. Can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me how to do this? Cheers.

Sorry, but you're not specific about what your asking.  You don't say what it is you're trying to "tune".

However, if you are referring to the MIDI VST instruments, that will depend on the programming of any particular VSTi.  In the case of the Revolta 2 synth, it is possible.  Assuming they haven't changed it in the last few years, the "master tuning" and a number of other useful parameters are tucked away in a location that is not immediately obvious.

In the Instrument Editor of the Revolta 2 synth, click on the button with the "wrench" symbol near the central display.  This brings up the Preset Options window.  There you will find the Master Tuning, which is set to 440.  Simply edit it to the desired frequency.

Enjoy!

@Procyon Thank you for you helpful reply.

I guess I was hoping for some universal setting in Music Maker that would allow me to set the default Master Tuning to A=432hz so that every pluging installed used that scale. From your reply it seems I am doomed to try and achieve this one plugin at a time.

At least I now have the Revolta 2 Synth sorted - much appreciated.

Namaste.
