Re: Out of tune!!!

2004-10-09 by mozgmozg23

Thanks for your help, but i asked 'bout little bit different 
thing... My english is so bad, but i'll try to describe my problem 
again to make you understand -)
So, i think, it calls "scaling" in english, the distance between C1, 
C2, C3... And looks like the "scaling" on my mono/poly is really 
bad. 
For example: i press C1 note on mono/poly and it sounds like C on my 
Quasimidi Polymorph, but C2 on mono/poly sounds like D note... Is it 
clear?)
