SUPER 6 tuning issues (whole synth almost one semitone sharp)

Hello,

It seems my super 6 is almost one whole semitone sharp (A on the keyboard registers as a B flat -41.5 cents on my strobe tuner). Anyone else experienced this?

This issue is consistent across the whole synth (i.e. every patch, including the default - Shift + Manual). Here’s what I have tried so far to fix the issue:

  • I am running the latest firmware 0.25
  • Power cycling (turning the synth off and on)
  • Adjusting the transposition switch (Shift + Transpose)
  • Tuning cycle (Shift + Tune in the Mod Matrix section)
  • Global reset as per the manual, but this had no effect at all: factory presets were not restored (well, the patches I had made/saved made were not deleted).

Obviously the synth is unusable in this state, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE:

The support team at UDO were very quick to respond to my email to them. I did another factory reset as per their instructions (not as per the manual - see below) and the problem was fixed.

The manual says to perform a Global Reset by turning the Super 6 off, hold the manual button, then turn on the synth. This achieved nothing for me. The instructions I received from the support team were:

  • Turn on your Super 6.
  • Press and hold the MANUAL button for about 5 seconds until all LEDs turn off and on again.
  • After this, the autotune procedure will be initiated automatically. At this point you can release the MANUAL button and wait for the autotune procedure to complete.

I know that’s how you tune the filters - that’s in the Global Settings section of the manual - but that affected your oscillator tuning too? Or was it just your filter tuning that was off?

On further reflection, I think I’ve realised what happened…

I must have accidentally adjusted the Master Fine Tune when I was working within the Mod Matrix. It would be pretty easy (for someone new to the instrument!) to do without realising: all it takes is pushing Shift and then turning the Mod Amount (intentionally or otherwise!).

Anyway, I hope my posts save others some time when trouble shooting this!
