Hello everyone,

I've encountered an issue with my Werkstatt's VCO tonight. When turning the pitch knob, there are two specific spots where the pitch behaves strangely. Around 11 o'clock on the pitch knob, the pitch jumps up significantly higher than it should, creating a distorted and unpleasant sound. This also happens around 12 o'clock. So, there are a couple of areas where the pitch sounds off while adjusting the knob. I opened up the Werkstatt and sprayed some Dioxit on the pot, but it didn’t seem to help. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this issue?

Thanks!

Could be the effect of moving the VCO frequency through a specific setting of cutoff and resonance. Turn cutoff all the way to the right and resonance all the way to the left. Also make sure that the LFO doesn't beat with the VCO frequency by turning VCO mod amount all the way to the left. Changing the VCO's frequency should now be smooth.
