LOL SOME apps are more handy than others :)

I am trying to optimize an app that is kind of like a piano and to make the file size smaller, I am tuning certain sound samples within game salad so that I don't need one per key.
The thing is that finding the right pitch is not easy and simply using 1.05 to go one semi tone up or 0.95 to go one semi tone down is close, but not precise and to go down a full tone is even harder.

How ever, the answer was pretty hip! Here's what I'm doing ...

I've downloaded a free guitar tuner for my iPhone and now I can tune the iPad sounds with it!! LOL

IF you think about it, it's actually pretty funny!

Maybe some day, someone will use your piano app to tune their guitar tuner app. And then the cycle will begin again.

LOL, I should put that in the instructions (bypass the middle man, go straight to the Gibson tuner!)

there is some mathematical way to do it, of course. But your solution is far more fun. ;-)

YES! I am actually having fun ... it's like playing those games where you remove a little wood block and try not to collapse the stack.
With the tuner, I can get rid of over half of the sound files and then make adjustments.
Without the tuner, that would not be possible because the math is hardly ever right.
0.95 is supposed to go one semi tone down and it does .... sort of but if you are making a piano, that is not good enough.
Often I had to go to something like 0.8924 in order to get rid of the "breathing".

That is a great feature of GS to let us tune sounds!
