Korg Mono/Poly

 

@Valerio: What happens, if you do the followgin:
* Connect only the CV but don't plug the Gate cable into the Monopoly. *
Then press and hold a key on the keyboard.
* Then press play in Logic.
Does the pitch now follow the pitches of the sequence in Logic?

Yes! Although it's not calibrated. After this test I've reconnected the gate and much to my surprise the M/P responded to the notes coming from Logic. I've thought maybe it was the cable so I've changed it with another one. And it does keep reponding.

After that I've tried to calibrate but that doesn't work. The calibration curve seems randomic. And every time I try to calibrate Silent Way generate a different (uncalibrated) curve.

Thanks Florian and Natalia, any further suggestion will be appreciated.

@Natalia: I've tried the tweaks you suggest but to no avail.
