You may need to have the potentiometers in the wheels replaced. Where are you located?

Hi again, tested the pitchbend wheel response via MIDI today (from another keyboard) - which works perfectly! Switching over to the Solaris, and the problem is still there, so yes - it seems to be a ...

I have discovered a peculiarity in the pitch-response when using the pitch-bend wheel on my unit (#285). The problem is that it occasionally tracks pitch wrongly when moving the wheel backwards (pitching down). At the initial movement (the first 1/4 of total movement perhaps), the pitch briefly ...

I see the previous post is from 2015, but I can just confirm this problem on a recently purchased 2016 unit as well (#285). I programmed a DX-7 style elpiano (using a wavetable oscillator btw), and started to play a sequence of big chords, pedal down. (Yes, I had to set the right polarity for my ...

OS 1.2.1

Yes, it's the same problem as posted previously (I should have checked older posts better!)

As said, it seems to rectify after a calibration of the CPU's, but ony temporarily. Also, at least at one occasion I observed the "opposite" effect, i.e polyphonic patches 'forced' into legato/EG ...

I discovered this problem when programming a typical synth solo patch (mono mode). A typical idea for legato play is to let the filter close slowely as you play a sequence of notes, i.e.you want the voice to reasign to the newest played note, and you do not want envelopes to retrigger, as long as ...
