Pitch issues

Post by CasaRojo » Sun Mar 13, 2005 10:00 pm

My pitch went a half step sharp in the middle of a show tonight. It was embarrasing and really had me befuddled. Afterwards I fooled around with the fine tune, ended having to detune a half step, obviously, and then I noticed my pitch bend wheel, I had it set at 2 semitones, was only going a half step instead of two. I played with the wheel and all seems to be fine now. Any ideas??? Someone had mentioned something about setting the pitch something or other when I did the software update, but I thought I did everything the instructions said to do. Again, any ideas???
Thanks,
CasaRojo

Well after you installed 2.1 or higher did you go to Master Mode, Software Version...press Enter and verify the voltage settings of the wheels? Pitch bend should read 0. If not you'll have to follow the instructions with update 2.1 to correct.

With that in mind, my Voyager was exhibiting odd behavior with oscillators. Waveforms weren't sounding correctly, almost slightly distorted. I'd hold a key for around 30 seconds and the distortion would go away. But it would return again later while sound designing/playing patches :evil: I contacted support before sending the unit for service and we tried re-loading OS 2.5. The problem went away :o Very weird, I just hope it doesn't come back.

No I did not. I did look there the other night though and it was 3 and it should be 0? Did I miss something in the instructions???

Yea, it should read 0. Your gonna need the notes for 2.1. It's towards the end and instructs how to correct.
