200e

On my two 261e's, I noticed with one of them the FM input will lower the pitch with nothing plugged into the jack as I increase the knob and the other one will have no effect unless something is actually plugged into the jack...?

Thanks again,

Heath

Hi Heath,

i do have the same problem. CV in does the same. I think the reason why is because the Poti does have a middle raster hole but does not have a dead zone.

So as soon you will jack something in for example cv (primal) the OSC will get modulated. Even if the Poti is in the middle grid postion. 

I´m not sure but i think this coud be fix with a software upgrade.

these are separate issues.

1) the FM offset is a calibrationthing; flashing the firmware should force a
recalibration but it's important not to touch the module for a few minutes
after flashing.

2) the firmware does indeed impose a dead zone on the mod index, but it may
be a little left or right of the detent. i'm not actually sure why that is,
to be honest. if we make the dead zone larger, some users find it extremely
annoying...

hi ezra!

i realize i have said this before but it is important enough to me to  
vote again again that i agree very much that a larger dead zone would  
be sad times.
