Slim Phatty A Semitone Sharp?

Post by Charlemagne » Wed Feb 16, 2011 1:37 am

Hello,

I just purchased a new Slim Phatty and really like it. However, it seems to be a whole semitone and a bit sharp. Any suggestions? I hit a C and it'll play a B that is a bit sharp. I'm not sure if this is Logic sending something to the Phatty or what, but it happens on every patch.

Thanks for the help.
C

In the master menu, go to Fine Tune, then select AUTO.
Now, don't play any notes for at least 15 seconds and then watch the magic begin... :)

Also, the slim needs a while to warm up. If you leave fine tune set to auto then whenever you're not playing it ( at least 15 secs pause ) it re-tunes itself.

If that does not clear up the problem completely (it usually does), go through the 4 calibration procedures as described in the manual.

Thanks! Autotune seems to have made it better - it lands on 60.00, while the manual says it should be 60.12. Is that a problem? Should I run the full calibration?

60.00 is correct. 60.12 is just an example in the manual for if you wish to set auto-tune to tune to a different pitch, e.g. you're playing with a band and everyone is a bit sharp always.
