Hey All,
I have had some problems with tuning on my Matrix 12 maybe this can
help:
I know the first impulse is always the CEM chips but I have found
that there is a bypass capacitor at the output of each voice that
will
fail and cause the VCO or the VCF to intermitantly fail the tune.
This makes sense because if the OB can't read back any frequency from
the voice it will fail. These beasts are getting on in years and
capacitors are usually the first thing to go in any electronic
device.
BTW I have found this to be the problem on many older synths. (Poly
Moog, Memory Moog etc..)
Other times if the patch is very complicated, lots of mod
routings with LFO's modulating themselves etc.. then the auto tuning
may also fail. Try switching to a more generic patch or the INIT
patch and try again.
