Fine tuning saved sounds on SD-1

2004-11-30 by Michael C Lesko

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me out with a pretty basic
problem.  I'm working on some 80's covers
and they detuned synth sounds like crazy back then.  I'm trying to "fine"
tune my sounds to match recordings and whenever
I attempt to do this through the "programming > pitch"  parimeter, the
sounds I'm trying to alter will only detune and not
tune completely (if that makes any sense)  What I mean to say is that I
can't save a programmed pitch change to an entire
sound, only a detune in the pitch parimeter.  Now I can, and have for
practice, used the keyboard master tune to match
me with everyone else, but I wouldn't be able to do that efficiently on
stage.  Is there any way to "fine" tune, not semitune
or detune a sound completely to save?

Just to clarify, what I mean my detune is that I will go into the pitch
parimeter and tune down or up the sound and half of
the sound will adjust while the other half stays at the current pitch.  I
knew this in programming Oberheims as detune.  The
problem for me exists with changes slighter than semitunes so adjusting
within my sequences doesn't help either.  What
a pickle, can anyone help me with this?  Thanks in advance.

Michael
