PitchShifter plugin is not thin enough

Hello, I’m trying my luck here because I haven’t found a way to contact steinberg support directly (which is already a hindrance to buying a license because I’m on a 15-day trial). In the PITCHSHIFTER plugin integrated into cubase, I can only indicate -0.41 cents of pitch when I really need to enter -0.4133. Is it possible one way or another? (it’s for very specific therapeutic music that requires a really fine precision) Thank you

voilà:

Are you sure you want to transpose the pitch by 4133/10000ths (-0.4133) of one cent, which is a difference of 33/10000 (33 ten thousandths of a cent)

You might need a specialized tool for that, or you might try one of the other ways Cubase provides to alter pitch.

The Cubase trial lasts 60 days if you get it from Steinberg, btw

Thanx for your answers!

Usually A = 440Hz. But i absolutly need to get A = 429,62Hz. It’s the reason i want to apply -0,4133 Hz in the pitchshifter plugin. i just discovered It’s a really great plug working on anything even vst instruments and not only audio samples, It also seem’s to keep the harmonic intact and that feed my needs perfectly. but i can’t enter -0,4133.. only -0,41 so any solution?

The link to contact support lead to a web page where it’s not possible to reach anybody. i tryed everything on this page.

Just a small info when you create the ticket: the parameter changes in semitones, not in Hertz.

Is you click the ST button yes but if you do’nt click is it’s more accurate and you can add or remove cents

It’s not so important, the support team will know what you mean. The “st” button switches between full semitones and cents.

Are you sure?
To me it looks as the ‘st’ button limits the added shift to whole semitones; if not pressed ‘st’ you can write inn 5.53 and hit return and it stays there at +5.53,still in semitones. It’s limited to 2 desimals tho.
With ‘st’ it rounds off to +5.

Where is the difference between what you wrote and what I wrote?

Not cents! switches between integer and desimal semitones.
Not important, as you said earlier, but anyway!

Let me guess: there are 100 different decimals from one semitone to the next one?
.01
.02
.03

.98
.99
.00

Close, but cents are counted in integers, and that is important in calculations sometimes.
I think that ‘chriselden’ is mixing up Hz and cents here. From 440 to 429.62 Hz there is -0.4133 semitones (close to half semitone downwards) , and when he writes it in it limits to 2 desimals. He cant get closer than -0.41, which is hardly noticable in the interface.
I’m picky (english word?) I know. :blush:

Transpose seems to follow the “rule” of 9 commas to each semitone instead of cents.

If we really want to get technical, no they’re not. Integers are whole numbers, no fractions or decimals allowed. I see semitones allowed to be entered in as whole numbers, not cents..

That would be some weird system where each semitone has 100 commas. Pitch Shifter, much like Pitch Correct, uses a 9 comma system where each semitone is divided into 10, with x.5 being a quarter tone. Cents use 100 for each semitone and 1200 for an octave.
