For those of you who've downloaded the 'Recording3.wav' file from my webpage over the last couple of days - I presume at least some of you may've noticed the (cough cough, ahem) 'tuning problem' in it? ;)<br>I hadn't realized until AFTER I'd setup the sample on my webpage - that I had 1 too many resistors, around my rotary switches. :O
<br><br>12 semitones to an octave. Right? ;) 12 steps in a rotary switch, for 1 semitone PER. Right? ;) ;)<br>This does NOT mean, 12 resistors of the the same value around the rotary switch! :O<br>It took me a while to realize that the 1st and 12th switch positions are NOT, 1 octave (
I.E. - C to C) as I had all 4 rotary switches set up for. :(<br>I removed the 1st resistor from the 1st rotary switch, to straighten out the tuning, over 1 octave. (From C to B). Now I'm having a really weird problem. :(
<br>Every semi-tone from C to F is in tune, at the moment. But the NEXT rotary switch position gives G, instead of F#. The next one after that, gives A, instead of G. And the 3rd position after that, almost gives the next C. :(
<br>All 11 resistors are 121R 1%, and within 1R, all around.<br><br>Scratching my head. Anyone have any ideas?<br><br>I'm going to check the 'keyboard interface' in Barry Klein's book, on my way to work, to see what could gone wrong. :( As well - try a different rotary switch, for the same thing, tomorrow - in case the one I'm working with - has a resistance problem. (It IS, 10 years old. that could be it. :( )
<br><br>Thanks for any thoughts. :)<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Take care,<br>Warmth and Peace,<br>Ryk<br><br><a href="http://deathlehem.bravehost.com/damian.html">http://deathlehem.bravehost.com/damian.html</a> - D.A.M.I.A.N
