Tuning Drifting

2010-05-25 by James R. Pardonek

Hi,

 

I still use my VFX-SD in live performances on a weekly basis.  I’ve noticed lately that from gig to gig it goes out of tune and have also noticed that the tuning will change over the course of the night.  I don’t think that this keyboard is subject to the old problem of varying input voltage from our local power company but it may be possible.  I’ve also noticed that some aftertouch “features” are stuck on such as vibrato on the alto sax sound.  I’ve worked around it by setting up a program that doesn’t have vibrato enabled, but as I find more patches that have this problem it becomes a mess trying to “fix” them all.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,
