AUTO TUNE Button

Pressing

AUTO TUNE

displays the auto tune page. Pressing it again initiates a routine

that fine tunes or calibrates a number of A6 functions to an internal tuning reference.

Tip

: You need to auto-tune the A6 after you first turn it on and should do it again

after it warms up (about 15 minutes). After that, background tuning (if turned
on) will keep your A6 in tune as long as it is powered on.

During the Auto Tune process both VCO’s frequencies and pulse widths, and both
VCF’s frequencies and resonances are calibrated along with a number of other
parameters. If you want to tune only one type of module (only oscillators, or only
filters), you may select that using the soft buttons.

While Auto Tune is in process, the display shows a progress/status box and the LED
next the button blinks. At all other times the Auto Tune LED is off.

For more detail on Auto Tune, see Troubleshooting on page 265.
