Re: DW out of tune

2008-11-30 by resistenzaaoltranza

Hello, Everybody!

This is only my humble opinion about the trouble:
assuming battery perfectly in order, and patches loaded correctly, 
it seems to me that it could be a "freaking" matter. I once tried to 
obtain new interesting sounds by opening the case and modding some 
pots with a little screwdriver, so obtaining a whole mess.....Trying 
then to fix the settings,with not a complete success.... I think I 
saw a main tuning pot somewhere between the two main boards...I 
think that some "clever technician" like me tried to turn it just to 
find out what could have happened....I hope so that You could set 
again in tune Your DW8000 simply working on it, using another 
working keyboard or frequency known signal as reference. Oh, and 
don't forget to keep the tuning slider exactly in the half of its 
lane.
I hope also my english was good enough to make myself well 
explained,and that You can receive again joy by playing with this 
beautifully sounding machine!!

All the best,
Francesco Manduca-resistenzaaoltranza.
