Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] SD-1 going out of tune

2004-09-29 by Michael C Lesko

Hey Rich,

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but did you check to see if your Mod and
Pitch wheels are clean?
Of course any dust or debre will certainly interfere with the performance of
the wheels and drastically
change the sound.  Just a though.  It's always best to start with the
obvious things first right?

Michael
