OB-X auto tune

2009-10-15 by nelsonj_sce

Does anyone have a good (engineering level) understanding on how the auto tune works on the OB-X?

I have one OSC on one voice that is getting a strange auto-tune control voltage causing it to be out of tune.  After swaping around op-amps to no avail, my next guess is a bad cap supporting the voltage at the op-amp.

However, I don't understand what goes on during an auto-tune.  I assume it compares the OSC frequency to a reference signal.  I don't understand who the comparison in made, or how the software turns off voices, gates the voice, etc...

Thoughts? 

Thanks.
