Voyager Pitch Bend Problem (?)

Post by calvinistsandlutherans » Wed Jan 28, 2009 5:38 pm

Good day,

So! I have a Voyager Performer, OS 3.2. I don't use the pitch bend wheel much, but I've noticed that sometimes I'll tune the keyboard, then pitch bend, let go of the wheel and it will spring back to a different note that what I'd tuned it to (a semitone or two higher). VERY annoying. Now, of course, this can be solved by just bending the pitch before tuning to reset it, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue? Or is it just a feature of the design? The wheel doesn't feel the least bit loose or out of calibration (since I almost never use it).

Thanks!

Hi,
what says the display when you select page 5.1 of the MASTER menu and hit ENTER for the software message and then the CURSOR to see the wheel values?
Have fun,
Rudi
