[A6] Defective voices and other anomalies

[Kevin Walker]

Hi,

A few things to do...

turn on your andromeda from cold and leave it on for 25mins.... don't auto
tune it yet ;-)

After 25mins, allowing it to warm up, auto tune it!

hopefully your andromeda will be in tune...

find a simple polyphonic sound and play two notes that are 1 octave apart up
the keyboard. If certain notes sound well out of tune, your andromeda has
the well documented tuning problem, aka, duff voice asics... You will have
to get it back to the retailer ASAP, because other problems may arise in the
future outside of warranty.... Well worth getting it sorted...

I went through three andromeda's before I found a good one... ;-)

I hope this helps

Kev
