Zebra & Tuner

[FarleyCZ]

Hi.

I was tuning some nasty combinator patches by a tuner and noticed one thing. If you press same note in Zebra again and again, even with simple saw wave, it not always really reaches "perfect" pitch. It likes to shift one or two cents up or down.

Well I see that is one way how to make it sound more analog and natural, I sometimes simulate exactly this in other synths by random LFOs, but still, I'm just courious: Is there any way how to turn it of?

I think there's an "analog drift" type option in the main setup page... can't remember exactly what it's called.

Turn the drift switch to off (bottom left-Global FX) as noted above.
You should also make sure there is no "midi learn" going on with one of the parameters. (right-click)(mac-cmd-click) on the tune knob and choose midi unlearn. Try some others related to tuning, as well.
Maybe turn off the vibrato, and check the matrix section out to see if anything is modulating the tune.
It's probably just the drift setting though.

Yes! Thank you very much, that was the button I needed!

It likes to shift one or two semitones up or down.

semitones or cents?

[FarleyCZ]

Yeah, sorry, cents.
