Calibrating Werkstatt to Alturia Keystep
Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2021 7:17 pm
Hi,
I've managed to calibrate my Werkstatt-01 to an Alturia Keystep, however the pitch for middle C on the keyboard and above is really high.
They 0-Volts key on the Keystep is the lowest C key on the keyboard. You have to shift the octave down by it's maximum to find it (I think you hit the Oct- button 4 times). This is the only key that doesn't change pitch when you tweak the VR5 knob.
So I have then tuned the pitch to C2 using the VCO knob and then calibrated a couple of octaves up to C4 using the VR5 as per the Moog instructions to get the octaves and notes nicely in tune.
The problem is - as I then move up the keys as we head back to the 'middle' of the keyboard using the Oct+ button then the notes are getting really high pitch to the point they become inaudible in the upper half of the keyboard.
In the Arturia Midi Control Centre I can see I can adjust the note for the 0-Volt key. It's currently set to C2 as the factory default. I tried setting this to C0 but then had trouble getting other notes calibrated off this as the VR5 knob reached its max adjustment before tuning them i think. Plus I got some strange noises coming out when I put it back together. Maybe I got something wrong here?
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've seen a video with a guy - Justin Fox - on you tube - who has a keystep attached to a werkstatt and is playing normal pitched sounds in the middle of the keyboard.
Any help would be great.
