Thank you so much. I changed it to 440 Hz.

Hello,
I am using the demo version and when I play the harpsichord with an M-audio keyboard, the sound is one half step lower than the keyboard note, d plays c sharp. This also happens when playing from notation with Finale.
All other instruments play the right note.
I am wondering if there is any way of finding a way to correct this?
Thank you

Yes, an easy way;:

Set the "Diapason" pitch setting from 415 Hz to 440 Hz.

The Ruckers harpsichord is set by default at a standard historic baroque pitch of 415 Hz, that's almost exactly one semitone below the usual 440 Hz.
The other harpsichords have presets at 440, 415 and 392 (two semitones below) Hz.
