Tuning your Modular Eurorack System 

Yeah, would definitely recommend that too if one has unreliably tracking sound sources or wonky CV sources. It even can make devices track perfectly, which have never been meant to follow the V/Oct standard.

Yes, I was going to say the same thing. Needs the latest firmware.

I usually just get frustrated with noted never sounding right, forget I need to tune oscillators, and then hate the sound haha. I actually ordered a Data a few days ago as I really need integrated tuning in my workflow.

This interests me a lot because every time I touch this button. what should I do to block it? Thanks in advance. 👍

This mostly applies to analog oscillators. I think he should have mentioned this. There is a difference between analog and digital oscillators. Analog ones should be allowed to reach a stable working temp before being tuned - as they may drift as temperature changes. Digital osc much less so if at all. Also digital osc generally track much better than analog ones. Also - I think one should always tune while the v/oct input is connected (preferably by the source that will feed it) as it may change slightly when plugged/unplugged and depending on what it is plugged into (as he noticed when it was plugged in). Also - when tuning to an octave - what volt is fed for that octave is somewhat important. I.e. for C4 - how many volts? The "standard" says that a C4 is 3.250V. And since 1V is once octave that means a C8 (pretty much the end of the range) would be 7.250V.

Careful, that's how the eurocrack dealers reel you in.

The latest firmware has fine-tuning.

It doesn't need a fix. Its a complex oscillator and spreads the notes in interesting ways. Its not for the faint hearted but is an amazing module. The manual explains it well. There are pics of how it spreads the notes as you turn up spread. I just use my ears to tune. I agree its not easy but beautiful.

Aren't there knob lockers?

@@AlexanderEinoderdon’t know which oscillators you’re using, but the ones I own doesn’t have such function

@@modularjesus Frap Tools Brenso has lock buttons, for example... You can place felt rings beneath the tuning knobs so they become harder to turn, thus preventing from moving them accidentally. I've done this with great results. This "system" even allows for adjusting the resistance the felt provides by putting more or less pressure on it when mounting the knob to the poti shaft.

@@modularjesus nah its something that physically attaches to the knob

@@AlexanderEinoder waaaaait what???:D please enlighten me, I would love to have such thing!!

it spreads the notes in a beautiful but difficult way to comprehend but with patience it very rewarding. The manual explains this well. The new update is defo a bonus. Waited ages for this update. I love the microtonal sound scape it can provide.

Really? Maybe hard to believe, but a modular synthesizer is just a musical instrument people are free to use to their liking. So where does your "it's for..." rule come from? Ever heard of note quantizers and quantizing sequencers exist in modular world? ;)

No. For tuning you need something with fewer harmonics. A sine wave is best for this. Triangle pretty good. But a saw wave has more harmonics and that can ‘confuse’ a tuning module.
