I was tuning my Polysix, but didn't touch the D#4-E4 trimpot, Was only using the high/low/mid trims of overall and osc sections. However, I noticed that on some presets the synth is stiil out of tune. The strange is that the lower C and upper C of a certain octave can sound pefectly in tune, while the F# for example on the same ocatve is out of tune.... I wonder it has anyhting to do with the D#4- E4 adjustment... What does it do ? does it determine the interval between D#4 and E4, which can stretch up and down the basic scale ? (I guess in that case that a perfect tune of the D#4-E4 pot will result in a perfect C4-C5 tuning, while if not, C4 and C5 interval won't be perfectly an octave ?) The procedure I followed for tuning the Polysix was - SW1 to "normal tuning" mode - VR2 ,3 , 15 and all 10 and 11 to mid position - Starting to tune OSC0 using VR15, 2, 3, 10, 11 (of osc1) NOT touching VR14 (D#4-E4) - Tuning OSC1 to 5 using each ones VR10 and 11 - When "tuning" I checked for every A note on each octave with a chromatic tuner, so it is 0 to 1 cents from the perfexct tune. Actually excpet for the lowest A and the 2 upper A's all others are 0 cents tuned ! So what is wrong ? Thanks all.
