Reference Pitch, Audio Tab
User Level: Advanced
MIDI File Usage: Playback, Notate

You can use this setting to specify the tuning of the music in the audio. In most parts of the world, the standard frequency of an A5 note (the A above middle C) is 440 Hz. This is the first note you hear when members of an orchestra are tuning their instruments. If some notes in the created MIDI file waver between the correct note and the note next to it, try adjusting the Reference Pitch. For example, if the correct note is a D and in the MIDI file it alternates between a D and D-flat, the recording is flat. Set the Reference Pitch to a lower frequency value to compensate. Likewise, if the MIDI file alternated between a D and a D-sharp, the recording is sharp. Set the Reference Pitch to a higher frequency value to compensate. During recognition, intelliScore determines the overall tuning and automatically makes an adjustment to the Reference Pitch as necessary.
