That's funny, somewhat similar happened to me, after a year playing the OS, when I got the model D. I set all Osc's to 8', try to tune Osc 3 with Osc1, playing an A. Darn, Osc 3 only tunes when three full steps down from Osc1. Oh well, needs internal trim adjustment or something like that. I can live with that. Start to play. On those patches where I kick in Osc3, it sounded even worse, it won't stay in tune AT ALL when played. Problem was you press the Osc3 orange rocker switch on the D to pass control to the keyboard, Osc3 being used as a LFO under most condition. On the OS, you press the Osc3 switch to RELEASE the Osc from keyboard control. Plays totally in tune now

thanks, stiiiiiiive. Your input actually helped me decide against buying a Virus . . . and then the day my tax return showed up, I found a great deal on this Voyager, it was meant to be.

Soooooooooo glad I didn't get the Virus instead. The Voyager keeps blowing my mind. Most incredible instrument I've ever touched

As a bonus, you will
never hear any aliasing artifacts in the sound of a Voyager !
