ok, totally confused I don't know what to do - hopefully someone will clear some things up for me because in four hours i'll have to be on stage with this thing. the problem was the tuning fell below the adjustable region of the pitch knob. i took this apart and started with instructions below: > Be sure to move the sliding switch towards the back, which is normal > tuning, when doing the tuning procedure. The service manual is not > clear in this point (maybe better for "Old Production"). When finished > you (may) move it towards the front and enable the stretched tuning. > You can verify the tuning mode easily with a tuner when playing a high > note: when switching the sliding switch back and forth the lower pitch > is normal tuning, the higher pitch is stretched tuning, which adds even > more richness and movement to the sound. > > I do it this way: > 1) move the overall tuning pots VR2, VR3 (hi, low) to center position > 2) move VR10, VR11 of unit 0 to center position. ok this i understand, and have done. now following this: > 3) now tune unit 0 with the overall pots, using a chromatic tuner. what note do i play? what note to start with? could someone hold my hand through this a minute? i saw somewhere below about a 6 voice chord memory, do i use this at this step? i tried tuning the low A to what A should be just fine, but an octave up? no. > this can be a little tricky, as all pots are influencing each other. > you may adjust VR10 and/or VR11 to gain perfect tuning at low/high > notes. just for 0 eh? doesn't seem to be working. if anyone could help i'd appreciate it! i tuned my mono/poly a few months ago with great success, so i figured this would be no problem either but i'm having trouble and starting to panic. thanks! i'll give out my phone number if someone is bold enough to call me. thanks
