Hi guys,
I just bought a Mini D and love it. However, I have found that if I rest my thumb on the pitch bend centre and apply the slightest pressure downwards (or even laterally) it drops in pitch slightly. In other words, all I need to do to slightly drop the pitch is to place pressure on the pitch bend wheel or push it sidewards. Is this normal? Don't get me wrong, it is not a huge issue at all, but after spending 4k I want to ensure she is working as she should.
Cheers team.

Re: Mini D Pitch Bend Issue
that´s quite the way it works and is normal . anyway this drove me crazy and i now have installed the muse by virtual music . this interfaces has solved the issue with the pitchwheel and gives me more control functions . not a cheap solution though but great .
Re: Mini D Pitch Bend Issue
Have you tried the pitch bend wheel calibration?

But using the Minimoog's keyboard might be easier anyway.

Can you give me a link to the muse page where I can purchase one of these?
