I bought my new shiny in '87

It came with the GEOS discs, which was really useful as I never owned a discdrive

Nice! I used a C64C once but the charm of the breadbox is unbeatable. Even when I'm not using it, just looking at it makes me happy

The only real problem is that they are very fragile considering their age and need some maintenance. On mine I had to replace the PLA chip and 4 or 5 RAM chips.

Eheh, I know the feel

I'm slowly collecting all these nice things I didn't have when I was a kid

I only had the NES, but not an original NES, as they were not officially sold here on Brazil. I Had a "clone", which curiously had the same external case of an atari 7800.

I ended buying your synth, and I have a question: I think the oscilators are all 1 semitone above the normal pitch. Someone can confirm it?

Yeah, I still see many clones when I go to car boot sales and flea markets. Some of them have very strange cases, some are almost identical copies.

I just re-checked and everything is perfectly in tune. What OS and DAW are you using?

FL Studio 11, Win 7.

I used Melda MTuner to check the pitch. I compare to other synths too

In fact, it seems to be around 1 semitone + 47cents above the normal. I used the detune knobs on minibit and made this numerical corrections and it seems to get better tunning. I can make a video to demonstrate this.

I don't have FL Studio 11 to test but it sounds more like a sample rate problem to me. Are you at 48kHz? If so check at 44.1kHz, if it's in tune then it's definitely a bug with the sample rate.

Yes, I'm at 48 KHz. I'll try reduce this.

Ok I think I know what's going on now. Strangely I can't reproduce this bug but I already have a fix. I will release an update in a few hours. Sorry about that.

Confirmed.

At 44KHz the synth get in tune.

But I really prefer to work at 48KHz; it is better for recording external audio.

That's fast service, thanks

I really dig this machine, in times of great complexity it offers simplicity, but is nevertheless capable of making many types of sounds, leads, basses, pads

You are welcome!

I'm glad you are enjoying it. Anyway, more waveforms and more features coming hopefully next month!

Feature-wise anything specific on the agenda?

This is delightfully crunchy.
