Subject: Re: [DW8000] DW out of tune

From: Mark B <Bugsi@...>

Check your patch settings on parameters 13, 23, and 24.
Parameter 13 is the output level of Oscillator 1. It might be turned
down so low as to make Osc 1 inaudible compared to Osc 2.
Parameter 23 is the output level of Oscillator 2. It might be turned up
high relative to Osc. 1.
Finally, parameter 24 is the tuning setting of Osc 2. It can be set to
one of five values, that set its interval relative to Osc 1:
1 = Unison (should be in tune)
-3 = Minor third higher than Osc 1 (Every C will sound as E-flat)
3 = Major third higher than Osc 1 (Every C will sound as E natural)
4 = Perfect fourth higher than Osc 1 (every C will sound as F natural)
5 = Perfect fifth higher than Osc 1 (every C will sound as G natural)

There is a similar common question about getting no audio output from a
DW8000, which can happen if the patch parameters 13 and 23 are set to
zero. Your tuning issue might simply be these patch settings on 13
(low), 23 (high), and 24 (set to other than 1).

Someone already linked to a user manual, I always have them on my site
as well at www.DW8000.com, but I see my site has been down for a few
weeks. I just contacted my web host, it should be back up shortly.
