RME Filter tuning

[Portamental]

unless I'm missing something.

We all miss something at one point or another. I should never have sold my Les Paul 59 RI.

Voltor07, I think you might have misunderstood that we are talking about Keyboard Tracking and not semitones offsets.

This is what you're probably referring to from the manual ?: "The Frequency control can change the pitch of Oscillator 2 or 3 a total of +/- 7
semitones relative to Oscillator 1. This allows more than one frequency to be played when a key is pressed."

But this is about the "frequency control" knob range of each of OSC2 and OSC3. Not keyboard tracking.

Keyboard tracking is defined as the ability to track individual scaled notes on a keyboard. And as such, the "KB Control Amount" knob in the filter section should do exactly that when set to maximum. The "cutoff" knob would be equivalent to the "frequency control" knobs of the oscillators in this case, if the filter is being used as a sound source in self-oscillation.

But from what I understand, soulstar108 cannot get a full octave interval out of the self-oscillating filter when he plays two keys one octave appart with the "KB Control Amount" knob in the maximum position.

Or did I misunderstand him ?

No, I'm wrong. I usually am. I'm not sure about the filter being able to track a full octave. I wish Amos or RL would chime in on this.

Since english is a second language for me, I often misunderstand people too...

Let's see what soulstar108 actually thinks about all of this...

And Portamental, you did what ?!
Well at least let's hope you got a fair price for it, so you could buy some nice synth equipment ?

And Portamental, you did what ?!

I know, I know, but that's OK, I am an SG guy

Erm hello guys, please accept my apologies, I haven't checked this thread for a while because I got a reply from Moog support that answered my question.
The problem was that my RME filter was not calibrated correctly or had shifted during shipping, so I was sent the instructions to remedy this (tuning a trimpot in the guts of the RME) and now the filter tracks the keyboard nicely for 2.5 8ves.
Belated thanks to all who tried to help.

Oh, and alien666 you are 100% right

[thealien666]

Thanks for the follow up, soulstar108.

Dammit, I hate when Canadians are right.

Dammit, I hate when Canadians are right.

You'd better get used to it, since I am seldom wrong...

[Voltor07]

Oh, and alien666 you are 100% right

Glad you got the problem sorted out! Now have lots of fun with your RME!
