Solfeggio Frequencies
I am trying to find out if Sonar has the capability to change frequencies?
THere is a theory about different frequencies and healing energies r something, and I
would like to experiment with this.
From what I can understand of this standard tunings are @ 444 Hz.
I would like to change it to 528 hz...
THere is a website that will do it for you, but I would like to know if I can do it myself in
Sonar,
Also if anyone knows if I can tune my keyboard to that frequency?
 
Any info would be helpful
I have included some more info below, as well as a link to the site that converts the music.
"tune-up" to C=528Hz (A=444Hz).
UT – 396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear
RE – 417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
MI – 528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)
FA – 639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships
SOL – 741 Hz – Awakening Intuition
LA – 852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order

Standard tuning in genrally considered A=440. some orchestras such as the NY Philharmonic use A=442.      

Here's list of all notes in the equal tempered scale.  http://www.phy.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html 

For example: 396 =G4 (392) + 4 Hz. 

With a guitar and a tuner its easy. I don't know of any synths that allow you to vary each note to a select frequency. I'll see if I can find something.  

EDIT: Here's one, but its $100.      http://hgsounds.com/news/vst-plugins/astralis/astralis-a-and-b-vst-plugins/ 

thanks for the info, Mainly I want to know if there is a way to adjust it in SONAR

no.

sonar is not a synth or an instrument and cannot control all parameters of synths.

you can adjust the frequency of most softsynths used by sonar, but there is no global "frequency adjust" in sonar.

if you use TTS-1, for example, you can adjust anything you send to it via MIDI to a different tuning other than A=440 by opening the options in the TTS-1.





didn't you ask this same question a couple of years ago? or was it someone else?

and regarding your keyboard - yes, that capability is included in most keyboards, but it would depend completely on your make/model keyboard.  that information should be in the user manual for your keyboard.

Just to further confuse the issue...
 
To be clear, the idea here is that normally C=523.25 and A=440. If you tune C=528 then as a result A=444. So you do not want to tune anything to 528. Most tuning systems revolve around tuning the A, so if you tune A=444 then automatically C=528.
 
As Beagle wrote, your keyboard most likely has the ability to set the master tuning to A=444 instead of A=440, a very subtle difference.
 
If, on the other hand, you want to convert an existing recording, here's how to do it. If you check this page out:
http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-centsratio.htm
go down to Cent value-determination of an interval
 
In Frequency f1 enter 440
In Frequency f2 enter 444
Then click calculate. You will see the result is 15.66738339053554 cents; this represents the difference, in cents, between A=440 and A=440. This means the music should be transposed (raised) by 0.1566738339053554 semi-tones.
 
I don't know what effects Home Studio has but normally you can select the audio, go to Process and choose Audio Effects>Cakewalk>Pitch Shift.or if available Pitch/Time 2 (or is it Time/Pitch 2?).
 
Enter 0.1566738339053554 (or as many digits as will fit) in the semi-tones box and OK it. It should then process the file. If Home Studio will not do this (it doesn't list Pitch Shift or Pitch/Time2 as an included plugin on the Cake site), then you could download this great shareware sound editor program (which was bought out by Adobe and is now called Audition):
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Audio-Editors-Recorders/Cool-Edit-Pro.shtml
 
It will load wave files, mp3's, pretty much any audio including ripping directly from CD. It will definitely allow you to shift the pitch up. An equally good method would be to "stretch" (or in this case "shorten") audio. In other words if you speed it up exactly the right amount the pitch will also rise. In this case the difference would be negligible (a 3 minute song may change by 2 seconds or something) but it will process quicker and the results sound more natural although in either case you'd have to have great ears and do direct comparisons to notice any difference.

The way I read the OP, she is researching healing energies of different frequencies, not making music (in this case).
So there are no reasons why she shouldn't tune the synths to whatever.

Well then I think it's understood you did not look at the link she provided. Maybe you should look at that first, read what's right in the middle of the page about Scott Huckabay, then read about what 528 rRecords does, and then see if you feel like coming back and writing the same comment. Probably not.

If, by chance, they (OP) are interested in actual therapeutic frequencies and how they can affect states like Beta etc, they can read the Help file that comes with CoolEdit as it has batch routines to create tuned white and pink noise sessions that are documented by scientific studies to be quite effective. I've used them myself, highly recommended.

If you check this page and read section 10) you will see it pretty much confirns what I suspected:

SToon,
thank you for in fact clarifying everything, and not further complicating it at all.
I didn't realize that this would cause such a debate, thank you all for your answers.
So it just comes down the slight adjustment in tuning then....correct?
I think I would like to do the adjustment post recording so that the vocals are included as well.
 
Thanks for the info, I will try inputting that number into the cakewalk, if not I believe I have a version of Audition.
