The pitch bend calibration is something that's stored in RAM on this
synth -- calibration can be lost when memory is corrupted, battery is
changed, etc.
The procedure for calibrating the pitch wheel is to press Record + 3,
then rotate the wheel up & down.
If this DOESN'T work, then you have problems .... but it usually works.
