I want to change the sounds of my Nord Piano 2 permanently to 442 Hertz. How do I do this?

I assume that all samples are originally in 440 Hertz?

Thank you for your help!

In the systems menu you will find the option to Fine Tune your instrument (see the NP2 manual, p. 19). The menu allows to adjust the main tuning frequency from A=440Hz to other settings in steps of cents, up to +- 50 cent. In order to calculate desired frequencies from cents or vice versa you can use any suitable internet device, e.g. this one: http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-centsratio.htm

According to this calculator a change of +8 cent from the base A=440Hz will give you A=442.03793673690376 Hz, that's the closest you can get to 442Hz - but should be sufficient for all practical purposes (the difference to 442Hz is a beat with a period a bit longer than 26s... )
