S_Gould Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 OK So I have 5 musician friends over for a cookout and after dinner we retire to the studio, it's the first time I've used the Andromeda in a multi-instrument situation. I hit the Auto-Tune button twice & let it do its thing, call up a patch I like and try to jump in with the jam going on -it's FLAT! Like 15 -10 cents flat, everyone notices.I tried a bunch of different patches, all the same. Is there something I missed? How do I make sure the Andromeda is referencing A=440hz like everything else in the studio? Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Hi, Scott - I haven't heard that one before... Is the yellow light over the tuning knob (indicates 440) lit? Does your pitch wheel seem to be working okay? Also, sometimes I have to run Andy's tuning routine twice - have you tried that? Sorry if these questions are dopey...gotta start somewhere... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundscape Studios. Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Wow - the Andromeda is so authentically analog, it even goes out of tune? I gotta get one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progfusion74 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 The first floor model I ever tried was out of tune . For a while I was wondering what the hell was wrong with my ears http://www.indiegrooves.com/dnm/images/dnm_small.gif My Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that's another thing to check, believe it or not. Andy automatically corrects it's tuning, but if you prefer that the tuning drift, you can toggle that function off. Push auto-tune once to go to the tuning page,and then push soft button one "TUNE". Make sure background tuning "bktune" is set to on. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peake Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 The tuning tables can become offset if you tune the A6 too soon after power-up (it has to warm up like any other analog). Tuning again should help it. Once tuned, the tables were coded to kick in on power-up and should keep the instrument within acceptable tolerances. If as Dave mentioned, the fine tune pot isn't centered with the LED illuminated, either your friends are sharp ;-) or you should clear the tuning tables with a soft reset (power-cycle while holding soft button four). Are your friends sharp? Didn't the A6 stand out as flat against the rest of your setup prior to the get-together? Give me the ANALOG and no one gets HURT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I'm quite relieved...for a moment, I thought this post was going to be about an Andromeda getting run over by a steamroller. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_Gould Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 As I said, this was the first time I fired up the Andy in a multi-instrument situation (I've only had it a week, & I've been busy). I'm sure everyone else wasn't sharp (My grand piano never goes sharp ). I did push the autotune right after firing it up, and I didn't try tuning again - so next time I'll know. Thanks for all the help, this is quite a beast to wrap my mind around - gotta schedule a few knob twiddling sessions with the manual handy.
