[chromapolaris] Out of Tune

2007-09-03 by Brinkmann Music

Hope somebody can help me with this. Powered up today and noticed that the polaris is out of tune with itself- especially upper two octaves. Seems to be every 3 or 4 half steps that are out of whack. Otherwise, o.k.
Left it powered on for hour or so- nope.
Autotune all voices- nope. And all voices are tuning and play- so I haven't lost a voice.
Tune individual channels- after several attempts- sometimes worked, mostly made it worse- bumped it too high or too low- the beating got faster or slower- but still hear beats.
Last resort- full reset (I know probably an issue that calls for replacing components inside, but I'm lazy- and not good with a soldering iron). Nope. Well, at least now I can see if Soundiver still works and can load back my patches... and play them out of tune. . .
So, what can be done to get it back in tune?
Thanks
