[korg_mono-poly] Tune

2008-05-01 by Brinkmann Music

I have a Korg Mono/Poly MP-4.  I was able to tune each Osc on Circuit  
board KLM-398.  However, as you ascend the keyboard up from the  
lowest note to highest note, the pitch drifts up almost a 1/4 step or  
so on all 4 oscs.  This is even on all and the same.  So, playing  
octaves sounds a bit off.  The manual says tune from the middle  
octave, perhaps a "stretch" tuning is deliberate?

Also, noticed after repeated playing of octaves that perhaps one out  
of four repetitions will yield a pitch that is a bit off tune on just  
one of the osc.  There is no pattern here, it is random as to which  
osc is out of tune and when.

Lastly, some times if you play two notes together in POLY mode, and  
then quickly play a single note or let off the first note, you hear  
the note you just let off sound when you play the next single note.   
Like a double voice trigger.  Changing release times and sustain  
doesn't stop this behavior.  Maybe it is the auto damp function  
acting up?

Any suggestions?

TIA.
