Hello, i just bought the A6, i have 2 questions.

Why is the tempo so sensetive? Why cant i just go from one bpm to the next, without going into the decimal system?

The second is, i noticed the A6 is out of tune on all patches, is this somthing i have to deal with everytime? It seems to be shifted 2 keys off. Wondering what info you guys might have?

Cheers

When did you buy it and where from?

There are a lot of brand new ones that are faulty (bad batch?) where either some of the voices are out of tune or every one seems to be. I have had two brand new ones and both had to be returned for such problems.

You can try the soft/hard resets (press soft button 3 or 4 on bootup, I forget which Smile

also leave the unit for 20 mins to warm up then press auto-tune twice to run the auto tune feature. If its still out of tune it looks like you have one of these faulty units also :-/ take it back.

I bought it recently, but i think it was made a few years ago, as it is the floor modle the store had.

Ill try your suggestions and see if that works. Mind you, almost all analog synths need to be tuned most of the time, anyhow, but it would be nice to have it more or less in tune, rather then right out of tune.

What about the tempo problem though?

Yes, why are almost all tempo settings in decimal values, rather than whole numbers? I'm having trouble getting a whole value BPM. 30,60,and 120 are fine, all other values are in thousands.............

Because the internal Alesis Andromeda sequencer is designed that way (I know -- blah. :/ ) Sync to MIDI to get whole number tempos.

set temptuning on, wait 20 minutes and press autotune .
if it's still 2 halfnotes out of tune, there is something not so well.
you can watch the voice being used under voxmon.
if all voices don't tune within lets say +-4cents then the motherboard might be bad, otherwise it's a voicechip maybe.
on the otherhand if you want better then +-4cents or immediate and always tuned synth, even when starting up, then a virtual analog or digital synth might be your choice instead
