Theremini quantization just switches off while playing?

Post by tomswirly » Thu Jul 07, 2022 11:56 am

Hello! Just got a new Theremini, and am enthusiastic, except for one upsetting feature, which appears to be some defect, as it doesn't appear in the manual or in these forums.

When I select one of the quantized presets, I get a very intelligent and stable quantization, very impressive - but then if I keep playing, after some time between 30 seconds and 90 seconds, the quantization goes away and I get a continuous pitch again.

This is completely reproducible. I don't have to touch the machine to make it happen. In fact, I can switch the machine to Patch 3, play a couple of quantized notes, walk away, come back, and the quantization is off.

The USB is not plugged in either.

Any ideas? I'm really hoping I can resolve this without having to send the machine back.

Thanks in advance!
