It may be that your synth is slightly out of tune, so it will be necessary to tune the PRO

SOLO to your synth.

1, Firstly, ensure that your analogue synth is in tune when playing from its own keyboard.

Do this by adjusting the tuning or pitch knob on your analogue synth whilst playing middle

C on both this and your master keyboard (or whatever you use for tuning reference). To

do this, you may need to disconnect the analogue synth from the PRO SOLO.

2, Connect the converter to your analogue synth and MIDI system. Check the PRO SOLO

is switched to the correct scaling system, Hz/V for Korg and Yamaha, or V/oct for anything

else (see Editing Parameters section). Set transpose to zero. Now press bottom C (MIDI

note #36) on your digital synth. Both synths should sound, don’t worry at this stage if they

are not in tune.

3, Using bottom C (MIDI note #36) as a reference (you must use this note for maximum

accuracy) tune in the PRO SOLO with your analogue synth by adjusting the parameter

FINE TUNE and TRANSPOSE if necessary (see Editing Parameters section) until it is exactly in

tune.

4, When your digital & analogue synths are in tune at the bottom , play middle C, two

octaves up on your digital synth. (MIDI note #60). Now adjust the SCALE parameter (see

Editing Parameters section) until both synths are in tune. The analogue synth should now

play correctly across it’s complete range from your master keyboard, if this is still not the

case go back to step 3 and repeat the process for final tweaking.
