Most LMMS synths have a PITCH knob (just to the right of VOL and PAN).
The PITCH values are measured in hundredths of a semitone.
By default, the RANGE of the PITCH = 1 semitone and can go up to 24 semitones (12 semitones=1 octave).

You can also tune some synths via the plugin tab.
For example, in the Triple Oscillator, you can tune each of the three oscillators via the CRS knob (from -24 to +24 semitones). The FL knob (from -100 to +100 hundredths of a semitone) allows you to act on the left channel.
The FR knob allows you to act on the right channel.

In LMMS, you also have effects that allow you to tune your synths.
So, via the FX tab of the synths or via FX CHAIN of the mixer, you can access the following effects:

- AM pitchshifter
- Higher Quality Pitch Scaler
- Pitch Scaler
- TAP Pitch Shifter

Does that answer your question?

Thank you very much D.Ipsum, it helped me a lot.

If you're using Synth 1, you can use the detune dial.


Note: Don't turn it up the detune, too much though. Otherwise your sounds will sound horrible.
However, for bass sounds and gritty sounding dubstep sounds, it'll sound really great.
