Re: Autotune on OBXa suddenly shutting down all voices

2015-08-25 by richtrix@...

So I finally figured out the problem with this machine. I was on the phone with Bruce Forat about my Linn 9000 and he suggested disabling the midi kit and taking the machine back to stock. I did so an autotune works fine now.

Unfortunately my memory seems to not be working anymore on the OBXa though. I can only use manual mode. Anything I save to memory doesn't work. Even loading the presets via tape backup leaves memory not working correctly. It seems like some things change with the changing of patches i.e. Saw to Pulse etc. but the sound that comes out is just a slow attack rumble/whine of dischord.

So any ideas there? And I'd REALLY love to keep this MIDI kit in. I emailed Tony at Encore MIDI but as per usual I get no response. So any ideas there are welcome too.

Sincerely,
Rich Clarke
