Re: [PolySix] Notes go out of pitch

2004-01-20 by Johannes Hausensteiner

It is not normal that it takes 20 miuntes to tune up. Usually it
takes about 10sec to tune and then it is quite stable.
Check the following: hold a key down when switching power on. The
generated note should change quite a lot until it stabilizes after
a few secs.
Are all six voice affected? Is the effect related to the MG setting
(VCA/VCF/VCO)? Is it related to PWM setting?
