Hey, 

thanks for your reply! This would be my theory too. So if I managed to name the different pots, I should be able to calibrate it to the current settings of the Mini. Just to clarify; the MIDI kit itself works, although it plays about a semitone off, and the octaves (ie high and low range) are not in tune.
