Ableton/Live/UG/15 Tuning Systems/02 The Tuning Section

• 15.2 The Tuning Section

  • 
  • The triangle next to the tuning's name expands settings for the reference pitch and the note range:
    • Tuning — the tuning system's name.
    • Octave and Note — which note is the reference.
    • Ref. Pitch/Freq — the reference frequency. Changing it raises or lowers every note in the Set.
    • Lowest Note and Highest Note — what the lowest and highest notes play. Changing one moves the other, keeping the number of notes between them.
  • Only Ref. Pitch/Freq changes the sound. Changing Octave or Note updates the displayed frequency without an audible jump until the frequency itself is changed.
  • The floppy disk button saves the tuning as an .ascl file to the Tunings label. The arrow next to it opens the tuning's page on Ableton's Tuning website, when one exists, with an editor for trying variations.
  • Select the tuning and press Delete to go back to 12TET.
