st=440*2^(1/12)

And then, you need to solve the equation, for x:

432=440*2^(x/12)
x=-0.317666594733664

Which is the cents below the reference 440 kHz, so you should set the fine tunning to -32
I don't think it's as easy as that. Even the tempered scale is logarithmic rather than linear, otherwise octaves would simply be the same value summed accumulatively rather than doubling each time.

The way I did it was as Tweakhead mentioned. i.e. selected a reset template patch, used sine-wave waveform on Osc1, made sure OscBalance pointed to Osc1 only, selected PureTuning from the CTRL menu, loaded up several software tuners, set them to use 432Hz as their reference frequency points (instead of 440Hz), then pressed note A4 on the Virus and used the MasterTune to alter the tuning until I hit 432Hz. If A4 is tuned to 432Hz, nothing else matters as the rest of the notes settle either side of it relatively.

Other people are welcome to try their own methods to double check and make sure.
