Re: poly-800 out of tune!

2004-11-11 by jisatsuboy

my first guess was the tuning slider, but that's totally obv.  
another thing that can happen though is with the joystick.  it 
calibrates when you turn the poly on, taking its current position as 
being the relative centre.  so, in the odd case that the bend slider 
is all the way up, and you also bumped the joystick while turning it 
on, it could be totally out of tune.  this problem is uber-annoying 
when the vcf and dco are ill-calibrated, making all of your patches 
sound wonka.
