Title: Brand new OB-6 -Calibrate right out of the box?
Post by: jo on August 08, 2019, 07:33:41 PM

Hi All

Just a new OB-6 owner here and this may be a silly question, but should I run the calibration on it straight away before using it too much? It's fresh outta the box

Thank you OB1

Read page 60 in the manual. (http://www.davesmithinstruments.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/OB-6-Operation-Manual.pdf?da8101)

My OB-6 module went noticeably out of tune maybe ten times or so when I first got it, but with the learn function, after a while its tuning was solid. My P6 keyboard on the other hand hasn't needed to be calibrated a single time. Either way, it's not going to harm your synth to calibrate it.
