Subsequent 37 tuning problem

Post by esmeets » Sun Aug 02, 2020 10:40 am

Hi,

On 26 June this year I purchased the Subsequent 37 from Thomann. I updated the firmware to version 1.2.0 via Sysex Librarian, manual update since Firmware Updater could not be opened on my Mac Mini with OSX 10.14.6. For this update I used a 1.8m USB cable which was directly connected to my Mac. The firmware update went well.

I also loaded a number of presets from the Audiotent website into the memory of the Subsequent 37 via the VST editor (B01-P01 till B07-P11)

The 3rd or 4th time I turned on the S37, I noticed it was suddenly out of tune so I started the "Note Calibration" option via the VST editor Cubase Pro 10.5, again using a short USB cable for MIDI. After this calibration, everything was fine again

After a few days I turned on the S37 again and it was out of tune again...
I made a video of this, the first octave is from the Slim Phatty and the 2nd and 3rd octave I play is from the S37, both connected via USB and played with my NI Komplete keyboard (it doesn't matter if I play with an external keyboard or with the keyboard of the S37 itself).

The sub37 is now connected via a Belkin Powered USB hub to my Mac for MIDI. there is no difference if I connect the S37 directly with USB to my Mac (which I did for the firmware update and calibration, by the way). The synth is now back in tune (after calibration) but I have no idea how long this will last unfortunately.

These are the current settings on the S37:
Tuning Scale 12T Equal temp
Scale number 0
Variance 0,0C
Note calibration start note 15 end note 116

Does anyone here got any idea what might be going on here?
Thanks

Kind regards,
Erik Smeets

You don't need to connect anywhere for calibration!
Just disconnect all cables except the power supply.
;-)
And carry out the calibration via the Global Menu 3.1
I also had one key out of tune, now it works fine!
