Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Tuning Drifting

2010-05-26 by Jon Carroll

Try cleaning the aftertouch contacts on the keys... ( and the keyboard in 
general)

Hi,



I still use my VFX-SD in live performances on a weekly basis.  I\u2019ve 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\u2019t 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\u2019ve also noticed that some 
aftertouch \u201cfeatures\u201d are stuck on such as vibrato on the alto sax sound.  I\u2019ve 
worked around it by setting up a program that doesn\u2019t have vibrato enabled, 
but as I find more patches that have this problem it becomes a mess trying 
to \u201cfix\u201d them all.



Any suggestions?



Thanks,
