Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi,

Yes I fiddled around with the master transpose and obviously if you 
set this into the negatives it fixes the issue to some extent. 

I forgot to mention that this problem (?) occurrs with the 
oscillators tuned down as low as possible (C), therefore I guess they 
are set to C1 in actuality. C1 is now the lowest note that can be 
played. Any lower and C1 comes out. Master transpose is set to 0. Key 
off/xpose is set to -36. 

I've just checked some other patches - they seem to be ok. Its 
clearly something I've got wrong in the patch. This is going to keep 
me awake all night now.

Thanks for your help. Sorry to bother.

Simon



I am guessing that its a combination of different factors that I need 
to mess with.
