I've just plugged in my Andy for the first time in about 6 weeks (I've been busy). As soon as I turned it on (I didn't auto tune), I thought I'd just have a bash to see how it was and was shocked to find that it was perfectly in tune!

I don't have background tuning on and that wouldn't have had time to do anything anyway, I only have temp tuning on. I'm just stunned by it... I think I must have a good one!

I have seen some detuning in some voices on presets but I suspect it is intended by the maker.

Afterall even fm can detune an oscilator.

I have not experienced anything major in the 2 days I own the synth.

It certainly does not change pitch over time.

No bugs found yet either, but I barely scratched the surface, I will keep you posted.

Stand corrected, it does detune, nothing however that an autotune cannot fix. So no problem there.

The tuning mostly changes due to environmental temperature - so if where the A6 lives has pretty stable temperature then the tuning will stay pretty stable.

it stays stable actually...

yesterday only the lower octave was detuned, this moring the whole keyboard was detuned , again with empahasis on the lower octave. A single Auto tune keeps it in tune from there on.

Subject description: temp factor
Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

mine is not perfect(triggering)... or,maybe i didn't understand the synth well but i realised constant room temp is very important for tuning issues.
at 24-26 c. there's no tuning problems (without back and temp tune).no tuning procedure is required at all... i just wait an hour doing something else and everything is perfect.once i opened the window for a quarter or so(5c.out.))...tuning went bad,i tried to tune it without results...some of my voices showed bad filt,osc..etc.even the next day,at 25c it showed some minor problems; it reminds me the cs80 horror stories.
my ob8 also works perfectly at constant temps.i've found an easy method,i just touch the lid of the synth... when it's too cold i know it before putting it on..
patience is the solution with this synth...
