Calibrating the oscillators

Calibrating the oscillators

How long does it usually take? My rev2 stopped at 3rd second showing this information Voice..1 OSC1..4 OSC2... And nothing is happening! OS 1.1.0.3

Hi, sounds strange but sometimes it helps trying it twice. I had this several times after all OS updates since 1.0.7.2, just switch off/on the device and try it again. Don't worry, it's not necessarily a failure of the device  ;)...

Yes. This has happened to me also. It "locked-up" on a voice during calibration. Powered down the synth. Powered back up, and called the calibration routine a second time, and this time it finished. I don't remember exactly how long it took, but it wasn't quick.

Here is the problem
Its the effects section - all of them are making terrible sounds now!

I would strongly suggest that you contact DSI support (they're usually quick to respond) about it. Because this definitely sounds bad.
Have you tried to calibrate the synth more than once ?

yes! 5 times - the problem is solved now (I hope so)! I had to run CLEAR CALIBRATION in the debug menu and then run calibration itself. Thanks to DSI support

Hi, I believe I have the same issue on my REV2 : suddenly the effects are sounding like sh***, like noisy metallic / ring mod. It happens randomly (3 times today !) when I browse presets quickly. Then I can't go back to a normal sounding FX unless I reboot the device.
Would you mind sharing the procedure ???

To access the Debug Menu, press and hold Down, Up, and Global. The first item is Clear Calibration.

NOTE: I'm not responsible if anything happens to your REV2 when using the debug menu, use carefully and at your own risks.

Hi Alain, thanks.
You're right, I'd better contact the support first :)
Quick question though : I'm using the desktop version, I guess it's LFO1 + LFO4 instead of UP + DOWN, like the init program ?

Most probably. Try it out and see if the Debug Menu appears on the display... you can always get out of it by pressing Global again.
