Varispeed on hit songs or who said 440Hz?

Listening to easy fm 97.2 for some 20 minutes was a surprise.


This was done while playing together with the hit songs with a DX7 MKII with Pleiades tuning for having the high notes in tune too as well as the bass ones.


Volume on both radio and headphones (DX7 headphone out) was kept very low to avoid pshychacoustic pitch shifting effects.


On one song DX7 had to be tuned to 440Hz +9 (DX increments). On the next to +23. On the next (piano song) to + 2, on the next to + 53!


Anxiously there is a lot of varispeed going on?
Varispeed makes voice sound so ethereal beautiful.


The songs (randomly listened to) were:


Love is all around - Wet Wet Wet
Maneater - Hall and Oates
All of Me - Evanescence
You're my Heart - Modern Talking
