adjusting scaling...

[John Speth]

In addition to Troy's cailbration suggestion I've got a little lo-tech trick I've used that seems to work for me and maybe it'll work for you.

You'll need a software sequencer (like Cakewalk) and a MIDI-CV.  Somehow input a repeating sequence into your sequencer that slowly plays octave notes (maybe about .5 secs per note).  You can make it a rising single octave sequence or 2 or whatever.  You can tweek it anyway you want once you get the hang of it.  Then all you gotta do is listen for octave steps while adjusting pots instead of reaching for the keyboard or looking at meters while turning the pots.  The moral of this story is that I think your ears are the best judge of v/oct.

I am looking for advice on the best way to adjust keyboard scaling
on my synths.  Should I tune the highest notes first, then go to the
lowest notes and adjust scaling?  Or vice versa?  Any tips
will be apperciated.

thanks,
